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.
