Let’s hide Oscar and find Elmo!!! No grouches allowed! So, whenever someone finds Oscar during the course of the party, it is their duty to hide him, but Elmo is “hiding” too, and each time he is “found” the one who finds him wins a prize!
It is easy to find Sesame Street party packs, both online and at your local party store. From Big Bird, to Bert and Ernie, Elmo, and even Oscar, there are hats, noise makers, plates, and napkins. Any bakery is certain to be expert at producing Sesame Street Character cakes, because they have certainly had a lot of practice creating cakes adorned with these lovable characters. Top it off with a Big Bird Cake, and your child, and party guests are sure to have a Sesame Street theme party to remember!
One thing to remember is children in this age group, need structured party activities...but, luckily children this age are easy to entertain. If you have an older child in the family, it’s a great idea to get them involved in the party, so instead of feeling ‘bored’ at the youngster’s party, they can become a part of it. Really, all it takes to create a puppet show stage is a sofa pulled away from the wall, where the older child, or children, can put on a preplanned puppet show, using favorite Sesame Street character puppets as actors.
Following Sesame street tradition, have alphabet cards on each plate of snacks “C” for cake, “A” for apples, and so on. Have contests with the children sitting in a circle, matching an item with the corresponding color, or letter of the alphabet, or picking a number: 1 apple, 2 oranges, 3 Hershey’s miniatures, etc.
Sesame Street characters are a beloved part of growing up, not because of their bright colors, or funny names, but because of their simple, effective ways of challenging the imaginations and learning capacities of children. Carry on that tradition at your child’s Sesame Street Party!
