Sesame Street Still a Hit With Toddlers

The Sesame Street gang is still a hit with toddlers even after all these years. The Play Library gift guide showcases several Sesame Street toys.
Everyone’s seen Elmo Live, but there are a whole host of other really cool Sesame Street toys out there, here are just a few:
K’Nex has a whole line of Sesame Workshop building sets. Build Elmo’s World Elmo & His Piano, or dress up Abby Cadabby in her fairy dress.
Each set includes its own storage container, an activity sheet, and additional building ideas.
There’s also a simply adorable set of Sesame Street Jingle Ornaments you can add to your Christmas tree. The ornaments feature Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster and Ernie. Your toddler will be delighted to see their favorite Sesame Street character on the tree.
My favorite is the The Sesame Street 2.5 Gallon Fish Tank, it’s soooo cute! The tank does have some small parts, so it’s not recommended for children under age three. The set includes a 2.5 Gallon Sesame Street plastic Tank, Sesame Street plastic cover with feeding door, Overhead light bulb and blue night light, patent lock system cover, & filter! The goldfish my son won at the fair is now happily swimming with Ernie in our tank. The tank’s available at Target.
This Elmo ride on is also adorable, it’s recommended for toddlers 1 year and up. It’s perfect for children who are just learning to walk. Let Elmo be your child’s co-pilot down the sidewalk, or on the playground. The plane features propellers with ratcheting sounds, under seat storage, control-panel style steering with lights and sounds, and for parents, there is even an adjustable volume control (that’s the best part).

Sesame St was SO much cooler when I was a kid. Not to sound like some grandpa who walked up hills both ways, but it was. The last five years it’s seemed more like Elmo street than Sesame street. I remember old school SS and it was so cool – sniff. Now I feel really old.
Jennifer~ I agree, Elmo’s cute but my faves are still the Cookie Monster, and Bert and Ernie. I would love to see more of them:-)

That fish tank is very cool! I hadn’t come across that one yet. Thanks!
Jennifer, just be happy that Sesame Street is still on. It manages to stay relevant year after year – 40 years this year! And the funny thing is Elmo is “old school” now.
There have been some great new muppets that moved to Sesame Street after Elmo. (But deep down I know what you mean … for me nobody will ever be as cool as Super Grover!)
