Sunny day… sweepin’ the clouds away! What child doesn’t LOVE Sesame Street? Throw a Sesame Street birthday party that kids will love with these 10 easy ideas.
Create a bright backdrop with primary color balloons. Give yourself plenty of time (start a few days early) to blow up all the balloons. Then soon before the party (you don’t want to start too far in advance or your balloons might start falling off the wall over time), start at the top and work your way down, affixing them to the wall with tape loops.
Grab a Sharpie marker and some paint and embrace your inner artist. Create a Cookie Monster Bags Game on a large cardboard box and add some bean bags for a fun Sesame Street party game.
How cute are these character pom-poms? DIY Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Elmo tissue paper balls make a perfect party backdrop. Start with a red, yellow and blue tissue paper pom-poms. Next, use colored cardstock to craft the Sesame Street characters’ faces. Affix to the wall or hang from the ceiling with fishing wire.

Simple and oh so cute favor bags! Start with red and blue gift bags. Then, create Elmo and Cookie Monster faces from a pack of cardstock. Easy peasy!
Any Elmo lover also loves his pet goldfish, Dorothy! If you are feeling brave, fill some small round glass vases with fish tank rocks and live goldfish from your local pet store. Tie a ribbon around each vase and attach a button with hot glue. Add a pack of crayons to make it the perfect favor for an Elmo lover!
Make the birthday boy or girl feel extra special by creating a backdrop that says “This Party Was Brought To You By The Letter ___ and the number ___” (using the first letter of the child’s name and their age). Wrap an extra large canvas (purchased at a craft store) or bulletin board with sky paper. Use bulletin board letters to spell out the “This Party Was…” statement. Such a fun backdrop!
