A personalized Sesame Street adventure

Oh, oh, oh! Now this is just about the ultimate possible Sesame Street gift there could be. Personalized letters from a Sesame Street character with an adventure inside.

Your child will receive three letters that take them on a magical adventure that leads them on a treasure hunt to where ever you've hidden their gift. It's an adventure and a gift all in one.

You provide details about your child - their name and some personal interests. These are worked into the letters to make them personal to your child. Schedule the letters to arrive as you want to fit with your schedule. The letters come as 11x17-inch fold out posters. They'll receive three - the first a surprise personal letter, the second building the story by revealing that a hidden present awaits. The third helps your child solve the puzzle to find the gift.

Pick from Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster or Abby Cadabby. Get them straight from the Sesame Street Store for just $9.95. A bargain surprise for your birthday child!

Alphabet theme for a Sesame Street birthday party

ABC, easy as 123 … . Nothing could be more Sesame Street than the alphabet. Singing it, learning it, saying it. The alphabet is a core theme for the show. So it also makes a great sub-theme for your Sesame Street birthday party.

It lets you bring in all the characters, music from the show and much more. To get us started, here's a great video of Elmo and Grover involving the alphabet!



Banner - AlphabetDecorations for an alphabet themed party are pretty easy. You can make everyone a letter for the day, make gigantic letters for different stations (cake is brought to you by the letter "C") and check out a school supply store for alphabet bulletin board supplies. Add all that to an alphabet banner with your child's name and you're good to go.


Alphabet TumblerContinue the theme with cupcakes - one for each letter. You can do a letter out of fondant to lay on top or you can put letters on toothpicks and post them in the cupcakes like little flags. And serve drinks for everyone in these cute alphabet tumblers - a great favor for them to take home.

Sesame Street Alphabet Favor BoxAlong with those, there's actually a cute alphabet favor pack from Sesame Street to tie off the theme. The alphabet favor box includes a Sesame Street sticker sheet, a blowout, Elmo notepad, crayons, rubber ducky and glitter ball. You'll need to fold and fill the boxes yourself, so you can easily add other items you find - like alphabet magnets and buttons.

Jumbo balloons now in new Sesame Street characters

Well, we've talked about the giant airwalker balloons that come in Big Bird and Elmo. Now, these aren't airwalkers, but I love that you can get giant balloons in more characters now. Including Super Grover! Hooray!

These balloons are at least 30 inches long (some as much at 39) so keep in mind the amount of space they'll take up. So no, you might want to reconsider ordering one of each! I'd pair one up with a collection of standard balloons in various colors.

One whopping Sesame Street birthday cupcake package!


OK - the first time I saw this Sesame Street Cakes Cupcakes - Do-It-Yourself Cupcake Package, I thought "68 pieces? Just how many cupcakes can two-year-olds eat!" Turns out, it's not meant to be for 68 cupcakes. Whew!

The package includes 50 Elmo cupcake liners (although, again, no need to actually make 50 cupcakes!), nine plastic cake picks of Elmo, Zoe and Big Bird, eight plastic rings of Cookie, Abby, Elmo and Big Bird, and candy confetti sprinkles. Turns out, that adds up to 68. Not enough to do 68 cupcakes for sure, but plenty of stuff to get you started with decorating a ton of Sesame Street cupcakes.

For more of the plastic rings to stick into cupcakes, check out these Elmo Cupcake Rings or an even dozen of the Sesame Street Cake Cupcake Decoration Rings

Fisher Price Singing Birthday Elmo

Great idea for some easy table decoration - and your child can play with it after the party is over! This Fisher Price Singing Birthday Elmo version of Elmo is just 14 inches high and runs on batteries so he can sing along for your child's birthday. (Note that the song isn't Happy Birthday; it's Elmo's own birthday song.) Squeeze his hand to get the music going.

They say it's for kids two and up, although there some reviews of people who gave it to a child for a first birthday. Keep in mind he's not really meant for a regular play toy, so he won't be as soft and cuddly as your typical Elmo stuffed plush toy. I'd say get him for the decoration and any play enjoyment your child gets out of him is just bonus.
