Every day is Earth Day on Sesame Street! Sesame Workshop is releasing a collection of resources to teach children about the environment and celebrate the world we share. Kids can learn the importance of all the earth provides along with tips and tricks from their favorite friends from Sesame Street
“It’s never too early for children to start appreciating nature and caring for the environment — and with a little help from Elmo and the Sesame Street Muppets, it can be fun, too!” said Gabriela Arenas, Vice President of Licensing, North America, Sesame Workshop. “These books, songs, and videos will give parents the tools and inspiration to foster their children’s love of our planet.”
The Go Green with Sesame Street series from Lerner Publishing Group offers a simple introduction to earth-friendly concepts. From conserving energy with Bert and Ernie, being water-wise with Super Grover, recycling with Oscar the Grouch, and more, readers will learn what they can do to help make a difference.
Paul Rudd guest stars as Mr. Earth in the classic special Sesame Street: Being Green where he teaches Elmo and his friends being green is easier than it looks, and bite-sized viewing includes a nature-themed playlist on the Sesame Street YouTube channel with a collection of songs, segments, and DIY tutorials from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “It’s a Habitat” and Ellie Goulding’s “Thank You, Clouds” to a compilation of crafts families can do re-using household objects. This allows families to work together at reducing their carbon footprint in fun and unique ways.
Classic Sesame Street albums We Are All Earthlings Volumes 1 and 2 are available to a new generation on all major music streaming services, thanks to Warner Music Group’s Arts Music. Families can enjoy 20 favorite songs all about animals, plants, and caring for the earth — including the iconic track “I Love Trash,” from unlikely recycling champion Oscar the Grouch!
If fans want to wear their Earth Day pride on their sleeves, BioWorld is debuting two new tee shirt designs for adults.
