For over 50 years, Sesame Street has been a beloved part of childhood, entertaining and educating kids with its colorful characters, catchy songs, and valuable life lessons. Generations have grown up watching Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, and the rest of the gang, making Sesame Street a timeless favorite that continues to bring joy to families. Whether you watched it as a child or enjoy it now with your little ones, its familiar faces and messages of kindness, learning, and friendship make it the perfect inspiration for a fun and memorable party. If you’re planning a Sesame Street celebration, I have a creative party to showcase and perhaps help you plan your very own Sesame Street party!
Throw a Fantastic Sesame Street Birthday Party!

Look at this absolutely adorable cake. What child, or even adult partygoer, wouldn’t be absolutely delighted by this super cute cake!
My friends Karson & Betsy have adopted two adorable children. They are hoping to adopt again and I am honored to help spread the word about this wonderful family! They always host incredible parties and this Sesame Street Birthday party for their son Beckham’s 2nd birthday is no exception!! I love the fun colors, creative activities, adorable food ideas and little details that they put into every aspect of this party!
Super Fun Sesame Street Birthday Party Decorations
Transform your party space into a bright and cheerful Sesame Street scene with colorful decorations inspired by the show’s iconic characters and settings. Use a bold primary color palette of red, blue, yellow, and green to capture the playful spirit of Sesame Street.

These fun paper pom poms are easy to make and add some bright colorful decor to the party space. You can learn to make basic paper pom poms for your next party here! Then you add some finishing touches (use the picture for ideas) to make them look like Cookie Monster, Elmo or Oscar the Grouch. Bonus: they’re super inexpensive – always a plus.

These simple but cute Sesame Street sign and magnet letter centerpieces turned out so amazing! I found an Etsy shop that personalizes printable Sesame Street signs.

Check out this very fun and simple banner! This banner would be easy to make by printing the letters on various colored cardstock and then cutting them out into whatever shape you like. You could also buy large letter stickers to stick on the cut out pieces of the banner. Punch holes and string the pieces on ribbon or twine. Add your own special touches of scrap ribbon, fabric ties or tulle.

These are just the most adorable party hats ever! I highly recommend trying to recreate these for your own party because they are so absolutely fantastic but if you don’t have time, I found some cute Sesame Street party hats here.
