Who doesn’t love Sesame Street – right?! I know that Gradie just cannot get enough of all the Sesame Street characters and hearing her say Abby Cadabby is probably the cutest thing you’ll ever hear.
I am excited that I get to share characters I loved as a child with Gradie and next week Sunday – March 5th, we’ll get up close and personal with all of her favorite Sesame Street characters when the K is for Kindness tour comes to the Mall of America for amazing FREE events from 11am till 4pm. There will be LIVE shows at 11:30am, 1pm & 2:45pm.
About the Sesame Street – K is for Kindness Tour
HBO and Sesame Workshop—in partnership with TPT and the Dakota County Library —present the Sesame Street: K is for Kindness Tour, a free, experiential tour timed to and inspired by the new, 47th season of Sesame Street. Created for preschool fans and their families, this immersive, limited-engagement tour features hands-on digital learning fun, participation from including bilingual English / Spanish books and activities, “meet and greets” with the costumed characters, a 15-minute interactive live stage show starring walk-around versions of the series’ beloved characters Elmo and Abby Cadabby, and other special surprises!
Here’s a sneak peek at what to expect;
“In keeping with the Sesame Street mission, the K is for Kindness Tour aims to spark imagination, inspire a love of reading, cultivate kindness, and provide an element of surprise for children at each and every stop,” says Scott Chambers, Senior Vice President and General Manager, North America Media and Licensing, Sesame Workshop. “The tour complements Sesame Street’s kindness curriculum, which is woven throughout the new season.”
In addition to a “kindness” curriculum, the new season of Sesame Street also features everyone’s favorite furry red monster, Elmo, in a new updated, fun, and fresh version of “Elmo’s World.” In 25 five-minute installments, lessons are taught through pre-school relevant topics, live action films, and interactive thinking games such as matching, sorting, and counting. Kids accompany Elmo and his friend Smartie, an animated cell phone and learning tool, as he uses his imagination to dive into the topic of the day.
Elmo and the rest of his friends can be seen throughout season 47, as well as in previous episodes of Sesame Street currently available on HBO and PBS KIDS and on Sesame Street’s YouTube channel. Sesame Street content continues to be available to PBS KIDS viewers on weekdays and Sundays on local stations, and on the PBS KIDS Video App.

I have always loved Sesame Street tours. I took mychildren every year while they were little. Last year I was so excited that my grandson was old enough. Can’t wait for this tour.
How fun!! I wish I was closer to the Mall of America! Sounds like such a fun place that always has great things going on there!
