What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this highly interactive Sesame Street site is a fun, safe, and educational place for kids to play and learn. Parents can set up playlists of videos and games that even pre-readers can navigate through. Downloadable podcasts allow parents to take shows on the road -- or just watch them later. The PlaySafe feature available on some browsers allows parents to lock a playlist or game page so that kids left to play on their own can't get to other Web sites. (Note: We don't recommend preschoolers surf around online, and if they do, parents should be right next to them.)
Educational value:
It's all about learning: Kids can play games and watch videos that teach math and language skills and encourage creativity.

Great Site for the Sesame Street Lover!
I love this website because it uses my childs favorite character (Elmo) to help direct him through different content. Learning games and fun Sesame Street Clips that I even enjoyed as a kid.
Easy for my 3 yr old to navigate. Though sometimes it gets hung up in areas that I need to help out with.
This site also offers Spanish content, plus Spanish learning content! Great plus!
