Sesame Street Goes Digital! Review and Giveaway

August 12, 2010 By

I remember watching Sesame Street as a child.  I would run to the TV when I heard the Sunny Days theme song and happily laugh along with Big Bird and Grover.  Of course, this was back before Tivo, DVDs or even remote controls (gasp!).  Now, kids can get their daily dose of Sesame Street just about any time they wish and thanks to the new Sesame Street Video USB, it doesn’t even have to be on the television!  From the press release:

“ATP Electronics recently created a partnership with Sesame Street to bring Sesame Street movies in an exciting and dynamic new format – Sesame Street Video USB drives with additional storage space! Each character driven USB drive features a full length movie, storage space for 400 photos, 400 songs or a virtually unlimited amount of written content. These unique USB drives are easy to use for children of all ages – plug into your computer and a simple one screen, one touch process allows access to the movie, storage space and even connects directly to the Sesame Street website.”

There are so many characters to choose from and my daughter instantly chose her favorite, Sesame Street Abby Cadabby Video USB (it’s pink, of course!).  Using the USB was very easy, although I did not allow my toddler to touch the computer.  I love the fact that when the USB is open, the two parts remain connected so nothing gets lost.  After plugging in Abby, within seconds we were watching “Abby in Wonderland” much to the delight of my two year old.  This USB is portable so it will make a great thing to pack on vacation or in the event of an evacuation (it’s August here in New Orleans, so my brain is on evacuations, sorry.).

The Sesame Street Video USB drives can be purchased for only $24.99 at Walmart and Amazon.com.

Sesame Street turns 40!

December 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I was born in July of 19 70-something.  Some of my earliest childhood memories are of watching Sesame Street (which was then in it’s earliest of Seasons) on our television with my younger brother.  My favorite character was Big Bird and my Mom even claims that I tried to talk to him through the speaker of the TV.  Sesame Street has certainly stood the test of time as it is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary!

Now, my children watch Sesame Street and I will admit that I love watching with them.  There is just something so familiar and comforting as I think back on my own childhood experiences and watch my daughters create their own fond memories of Big Bird and Elmo (Aubrie’s favorite).  While the premise is still the same, the skits and some cast members have changed through the years.  To celebrate the special anniversary, the gang at Sesame Street has compiled their favorites from the past 40 years of Sunny Days!  From the press release:

sesamestreet“For 40 years, sunny days have swept the clouds away and inspired preschoolers to learn, grow and achieve their highest potential.  Relive the best-of-the-best when SESAME STREET: 40 YEARS OF SUNNY DAYS debuts as a two-disc DVD set November 10 from Vivendi Entertainment and Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind Sesame Street. Premiering on November 10, 1969, Sesame Street is the longest running children’s series and “…arguably, the most important children’s program in the history of television” (Newsweek.com). Featuring nearly six hours of everyone’s favorite Sesame Street stories, songs, Muppets™ and celebrity segments, the SESAME STREET: 40 YEARS OF SUNNY DAYS collectible set spans the renowned show’s four decades, includes never-before-seen archival footage and a limited-edition hard covered commemorative book.”

Do you miss your old favorites?  Remember singing along to Ernie’s “Rubber Ducky” or Bert’s “Doing the Pigeon?”  See them all again and share the classics with your kids!  The DVD is available on Amazon for less than $30!
