Sesame Street Magazine

Sesame Street Magazine is a publication of general interest to children and fans of Sesame Street and/or Sesame Workshop productions and initiatives. It is released monthly, except for some bi-monthly issues in the middle or end of the year. The magazine features the characters of Sesame Street exploring a variety of topics generally similar to ones covered on the program, such as the alphabet, sharing with friends, how to stay healthy, and more. More recent issues of the magazine have also had one or two pages of content devoted to characters and scenes from the animated show Dragon Tales and some issues in 2004 also contained Global Thingy content. Elmo's World and Play With Me Sesame are also included as sections in later issues. Regular features include Big Bird's Fridge, pullout / mini posters and monthly calendar.

Issues at one point used to include "Sesame Street Parent", which became available as "Padres de Sesame Street" in 1995. As of approximately 2002, Sesame Street Magazine became a supplement to Parenting magazine, available only to subscribers. These copies read on the front cover "From the publishers of Parenting." In 2008, the magazine became a free publication available for download at Sesameworkshop.org.

Several other countries, including Brazil, Japan, Germany, and the Netherlands, have published their own counterparts to Sesame Street Magazine, based on their localized productions.

 * Note: From 1978-1980, the Magazine staff mislabeled some of the issue numbers. The issue numbers on this page are from the indicia of each issue, with an asterisk next to the incorrect numbers. The mistake was caught and fixed in the middle of 1980. There was a similar problem in 1982-1984, which may not have been fully corrected.
