Sesame Street Birthday Party Theme
Ages: 4 to 5
What kid hasn’t liked Sesame Street at some point? So throw a bash
with the whole Sesame Street gang, Big Bird, Elmo, Oscar the
Grouch, Snuffy, Bert, Ernie and the Count. This party is perfect
for the 4-5 year old age group.
Invitation Ideas:
Create an invitation that says (child’s name) birthday was brought
to you by the letter ___ (enter the letter of your child’s first
name) and the number (enter the number for the age your child is
turning). Use bold primary colors. You can also find stickers of
sesame street characters and say something like, “Big Bird would
like to invite you to a party!”
Decoration Ideas:
Decorate with letters and numbers and place Sesame Street
character stuffed animals around the party area. If you are
feeling ambitious you could put butchers paper on the wall and
draw on a Sesame Street sign.
Games and Activities:
Take your inspiration right from Sesame Street. Play one of these
things is not like the other. You can even find the song online to
download. For older kids make it a bit harder by picking things
that are not obviously different.
Get a large silver trash can like Oscar the Grouch’s can and let
the kids do a bean bag toss.
Play pin the cookie on Cookie Monster.
Get a Sesame Street movie and let the kids watch it while eating
their refreshments.
Put up some blank butchers paper and give the kids crayons so that
they can draw a world (just like Elmo does in Elmo’s World).
Play where’s Elmo (or your child’s favorite Sesame Street
character). Hide an Elmo doll and yell out hot when the children
get close and cold when they are far away from the hiding spot.
Craft Idea
Before the party make sugar cookies and use letter and number
cookie cutters to cut out shapes. At the party provide the kids
with primary colored frosting and sprinkles and let them decorate
their own letter and number of the day cookies.
