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!

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.
