Sesame Street Magazine

Sesame Street Magazine is a children's magazine published by Sesame Workshop (previously Children's Television Workshop) to support the educational initiatives of Sesame Street.

The magazine was published monthly from 1970 until the mid-2000s. Around 2002, the magazine became a supplement to Parenting magazine, and was available only to subscribers. In 2008, the title moved to a digital platform and was available for free viewing and download via sesameworkshop.org. In 2011, after 41 years of publication, the magazine ceased producing new issues. In December 2013, the title was revived as a bi-monthly print publication by Redan Publishing.

Various companions and supplements were published in conjunction with the main title, consisting mainly of a Sesame Parents imprint.

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.

Supplements[]

A Parents' Guide was added to the magazine as an insert in 1985, and spun off as a separate publication called Sesame Street Parents in 1988.^[1]
