Good news! We just added a brand new collection of Sesame Street party supplies to our store! Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird are the main characters on our Sesame Street party decorations, but Abby Cadabby, Grover, and Ernie make appearances, too. The characters are featured on a white background with punchy polka dots for a fun and modern take on the classic childhood favorite.
To get your party planning going, we took to Pinterest and rounded up a bevy of Sesame Street party ideas, including our favorite 10 ideas below. We hope they inspire you!
1. Sophia Street via On to Baby
How fun is this Sesame Street dessert table?! Head to your local big-box hardware store and pick up a newel post to create a personalized street sign for your little one’s party. After the party, it can make a fun addition his or her room!
2. Sesame Street Pom Poms via With a Little Help from My Friends
These Sesame Street character tissue paper pom poms are so fun and really easy to make yourself. Use our Honeycomb Tissue Balls, some construction paper, scissors, and tape to easily construct them. Hang them around the party space for bright, party-appropriate decor.
3. Sesame Street Sheet Backdrop via Christine Trevino
This hostess used some Sesame Street sheets as an easy and clever party backdrop. We also love how she incorporated all of the Sesame Street toys and items she already had. We’re sure you have plenty of Elmo and Big Bird toys that you can pull into your own party decor!
4. Oscar’s Trash Toss via Night Owl Corner
For a fun and simple game, play Oscar’s Trash Toss! A clean metal trash can and some crumpled pieces of newspaper or advertisements are all you need. Tape lines in front of the trash can for the kids to throw from.
5. Cookie Monster Cookie Toss via Embrace Your Chaos
For another fun tossing game idea, use cardboard to make a giant Cookie Monster with a cookie-grabbing hole. Be sure to check out Embrace Your Chaos for instructions on how to make cookie bean bags to toss in his mouth.
6. Oscar the Grouch Photo Op via Swirl Girls on Hostess with the Mostess
For a perfect photo opportunity, turn a clean metal trash can into Oscar the Grouch’s home. Make an ‘I heart Trash’ sign for the front, and snap a photo of each guest in the can. After the party, print the photos and include them in the thank you notes.
7. Hooper’s Store Play Area via Kara’s Party Ideas
To keep the kids occupied, set up a play station full of toys, crafts, Sesame Street party favors, and activities. Create an awning that says Cooper’s Store to make it look like Sesame Street’s classic general store.
8. Sesame Street Party Drinks via A Little Tipsy
After all the activities, your guests will need hydration! This hostess served a spread of primary-colored Jones sodas; bottled water with custom number labels; Apple & Eve juice boxes, which have Sesame Street characters on them; and red and blue squeeze bottle drinks with DIY Elmo and Cookie Monster faces on them. So clever!
9. Sesame Street Fruits and Veggies Platters via Not Your Normal Steam
For a healthy snack, transform boring veggie and fruit trays into Sesame Street characters! This hostess used brocoli, olives, and ranch dressing for Oscar and watermelon, blueberries, carrots, and fruit dip for Elmo. Check out Not Your Normal Steam for Bert and Ernie trays, too!
