    So glad we found Play with me Sesame

    My daughter tried to watch Sesame Street but it didn't keep her attention. Plus, I didn't enjoy watching it either. Then, I found Play with me Sesame on the Sprout channel and we both love it. It is what sesame street used to be. It is much more educational and my daughter is more interactive with the ideas and games they play. It makes more sense because it is made for it's audience. One thing, I wish it was played on the PBS channnel.
