"Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Streeeeeettttttttt?" Oh I just used to LOVE to hear that song! I adored Sesame Street as a child, and I love that this educational program is one that is still around to educate MY daughter in the same way that I was. I loved Big Bird the most, but that was before the Elmo craze really hit. I've got to admit that even now, I love Elmo's voice. I know that it won't be long before Little AG discovers Sesame Street on TV, and it will be a show that I won't resist her watching because of it's fantastic educational component.
Oh, and I can't resist quickly sharing this photo of our local (but fantastic) meterologist who I just feels like resembles the Count. Every time he does the weather, I feel like he should say, "Tomorrow the temperature will be 79! 79! Aah! Aah!" (How great would that be?)
Ok, I'll be serious now. Well, I'll try, at least. Thanks to Team Mom, I recently got a blast from my Sesame Street past when my daughter received a Sesame Street Building Set to review! It is perfect for her because she falls at the lower end of the age range (2 to 5) and is just starting to show interest in putting things together and using more of her creative side. We were so excited to see that we had received the Elmo K'nex set -- and my daughter had a blast giggling with Elmo and this fun set. The best thing about it is that it includes three educational "Play & Learn" activity cards that are meant to be enjoyed by parent and child together. One side of the card features alternate building ideas; the other side includes fun facts and activity suggestions. Our set included 47 pieces, which would normally give me a headache, but thankfully K'nex included the storage container with the playset, which makes it easy to clean up the fun neatly when playtime is over.
The sets come in different options - there are the smaller sets for tiny builders that include 14-15 pieces each. They retail for $10.99. There is the Super Grover and Abby Cadabby set that include 30 parts and retail for $14.99. There are the 46 piece sets which include the Elmo's World Set and the Bert and Ernie Set that retail for $21.99. Lastly, there is the ultimate Sesame Street building experience -- the Cookie Monster and Hooper's Store Building Set which includes 80 pieces and retails for $31.99. All sets are being released for the first time this month -- just in time for Christmas!
I know your kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews will love these great sets just as much as we do! That said, I'm excited to offer you a chance to win one of these sets for the Sesame Street lovers in your life! To enter, follow the easy-peasy rules below.

I like that kids can do it themselves- not have mom or dad do it...its like doing a science project where they do it themselves and not the parent- alot of accomplishment
I love the fact they have come out with a "younger generation" knex, and so bright and colorful! Love the Elmo one!
I like that it is for younger children.
I love that it comes in so many different characters. It seems like you can't get Grover or Oscar otherwise. And the younger age range is really nice.
You're on my blogroll!
This would be so nice for my grandson. My son as a toddler absolutely adored Ernie. He couldn't go anywhere without him. I put ernie in the washer and he went into fits "you gonna drown Ernie. Don't kill my friend mommy". He was so cute.
I have you in my blog list and blog button box.
I like that it is for the little ones.

I like the charcters they used.
The Play & Learn activity cards sound like so much fun for both my son and I!
Love the storage container.
The fact that they are modeled after the most-beloved characters from my childhood. Has anyone, anywhere EVER been offended by anything on Sesame Street? I doubt it. There is nothing more wholesome for your kids--just good messages through and through.

Great toy! What an easy toy to clean up and store, as well. Thanks!
I like their safety and the ease of clean up. Thanks!
I'm a subscriber, thanks!
I love the activity cards. Very cute. Thanks for the chance to win!
I like they have a container to put then in so my grandaughter can put them all back in.
My son loves Elmo! I'm excited about these toys since they are for the age group that will move on next to legos, but these are safer to play with of course. :)
I have a teenage grandson who has now passed down his knex to his little brother and sister 4 and 5. I like how they help expand a child's creativity and for very young children help build motor skills.
Also a subscriber
What I like best is that they come in their own storage container and kids can put them together 'right' or however they want. We're serious K'nex fans here. Love the new Sesame kits especially Super Grover! (Your weather guy really does look like the count, lol!)
Abby Cadabby Knex set
I like the new K'Nex sets for younger kids with characters they recognize. My older son plays with the other K'Nex - now my daughter can play with these. Thanks!
When playtime is over, store the parts in the handy, portable storage container. My granson is a Elmo fanatic and he would go ga ga over this item.
I'm starting a new job in an elementary school and sometimes its difficult to get kids talking. If I have a cool toy, it breaks the ice. These would be great to start kids talking. Thanks for the giveaway!

They're Sesame Street! My ds would love it!

I love there's a storage case!
iluv2pray@gmail.com
I love the storage case to keep everything together. Also these sets are designed for tinier hands & fingers.
I love that you can place them back in the can to store them without it getting lost! MY son would love it
kristilb19@Yahoo.com
The activity cards would be educational for the little ones.
I like the stickers and educational "Play & Learn" activities included. I believe if children are playing with a character they already love they don't even realize the new skills they are learning.
Subscribe too.
In general, I like KNex sets because they target four areas of development; Physical, Social-emotional, Language and cognitive development.
I like the Elmo set because it has additional storage for easy cleanup - always good for moms of toddlers!
You're too funny! I've thought the same thing about Carl looking like the Count. I also live in Mandeville (Hi neighbor!).
These sets are so much fun for children of all ages. I've had my eye on the great Abby Cadabby Building Set for my niece.
These would make perfect Christmas presents.
Thank you for the great giveaway.
So cute - and so much fun for kids :)
ktgonyea@gmail.com
I love that K'nex has a Sesame Street line. It's perfect for my 2 year old who is obsessed with Elmo!
amentschick@gmail.com
I love that G is on the lower end of the age spectrum which means this toy would get LOTS of love and use!!! :)
They're perfect for my 2 year old nephew!
They are adorable! It's so much fun to see a KNEX line for toddlers!
I love that the sets have recognizable characters. It is wonderful to have more toys that will encourage fine motor skill development. Thanks for the great giveaway :)

My daughter is just getting into playing with K'nex at home. The added bonus of having sesame street characters will put her over the edge. thanks.
verypissedoff at verizon dot net
I like how they help with development in multiple areas such as eye hand coordination and problem solving/cognitive skills.
I love how easy they look to put together!
I love the fact that these blocks have characters that kids love and that they come with their own storage container. Thank you for the contest!

I like how they help the younger set further hone their fine motor skills and how they come in a container in which all of the pieces will fit. Great toy!
I love the cute characters and the storage container everything comes in.
I love the fact that they are made bigger for little hands. Also the fact that everything can be neatly kept together.
Thank you so much for always offering such wonderful contest.
I would LOVE to win
I love the fact that they come with such a cute storage canister to keep all the pieces in!
They are so cute and easy - any young child would love them. We love Super Grover the best.
I love that little hands can build these unlike some knex that are for the bigger brother.
I love that little hands can build these unlike some knex that are for the bigger brother.
I like that there is a nice selection to choose from ;)
ladyblue1112000[at]yahoo.com
I like that they are characters that kids "know". That would encourage them to play with these. Also they have a small amount of parts so they are not too overwhelming for the younger kids. It's a great way to introduce them to building activities. Thanks!
braaisjo at gmail dot com
I love the storage container!
Glad to see K-NEX is making items for toddlers. These are great toys!
I am thrilled that this company is making toys for the younger ones to love and enjoy.
purehrt555(at)yahoo(dot)com
My 3 yr. old tries to do legos, but they are too small and hard for her to snap together. These are the perfect size, easier to do, and she will still feel like she is doing what her brothers can do. I want to collect them all!
The thing I like the most about these Sesame K'nex sets has to be the bright primary colors, and also the very familiar characters. My kids love their Sesame Street! Thanks!
I like that its of course Sesame Street and that it works the fine motor skills, which would be great for my one and two year old.
all are cute, especially ernie and bert
love that there is an ernie set - youngest loves ernie
these are great. i havent seen them in the stores.
i love bert and ernie :)
I love the variety of characters.
annemarie562000(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love the fact that they are made for the younger building fanatics and the bright colors and characters are great! Thank for the contest!
Thats Hilarious that the weatherman looks just like the count! I wonder if anyone has ever told him that before!?! LOL...
As for the giveaway, what I like best is how age appropriate they are for my little 3 year old! The original k'nex sets are of course over his head...so this these new sets (especially in the sesame street theme)are PERFECT for him!!!
Thanks!

my two little nephews will love working together to put this together, motor skills and coordination! And the characters. Plus the colors are great.

I think my son would respond to the bright colors and I like it that the pieces are big enough for him to work
with.

wow, looks great!
Like that it comes with a container and that it seems geared toward my daughter's age...
subscriber, love your blog
As a teacher, I really appreciate how each set comes with educational activities as well as how easy they are to use!
Wow! At first I thought it was Legos, as it does not look like all the K'nex sets we have in our home. But sure enough, it is K'nex.
I have a couple of little ones who would love this. I like that on one side of the card it features alternate building ideas.
I really like that the pieces are all bigger and the right size for toddler hands.
ajcmeyer AT go DOT com
I like the fact that number one, they are Sesame Street based toys, and two, they are made for a younger child. My oldest son loves to play Legos, but the pieces he uses are too small for my youngest son. Thank you so much for the great giveaway!
I like the fact they are made for the younger kids. Its tough for me to find really fun buliding type sets for my two little ones.
I love that they have their own storage container! I love that they are k'nex for younger kids, and I especially love that they are Sesame Street characters! Who doesn't love Sesame Street
