The Sesame Street anniversary is amazing.  The Sesame Street anniversary is the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street characters such as Big Bird, Oscar, Snuffy, and Elmo. 

For 4 decades, Sesame Street has been entertaining and educating children in the US.  Sesame Street is the favorite of many, including First Lady Michelle Obama.  In fact, Michelle Obama even informed those present at her UN address that she was still on a “high” from visiting Sesame Street.

Google is also partaking in the monumental Sesame Street anniversary.  It can even be argued that Google has amped up the publicity of the Sesame Street Anniversary by featuring Big Bird in today’s Google Doodle.

Parents of children should watch Sesame Street today with their kids.  Get some of the Sesame Street episodes that were aired when you were young so your child can get a glimpse of how things have changed over the years. You can also go online and search for free printable Sesame Street coloring pages and activities.  Use these to make Big Bird a birthday card.

Hopefully Sesame Street will continue for many years.  The Sesame Street anniversary is a reminder that quality TV programming is rewarded through long tenures.  Sesame Street has been aired on PBS channels across the country for many, many years.
