Room Decorations

There were so many cute paper fans, character cutouts, and other decorations in the Sesame Street party decorating kit. You’ll be astounded at how much it contributed to the party’s overall theme.
Use a red tissue tassel garland, blue tulle pom-poms, and a couple Sesame Street banner pennants from the Sesame Street high chair decorating kit to make a simple Sesame Street party garland.
A red chevron table runner topped the dessert table, with blue, red, and yellow polka dot paper lanterns below. A celebration is usually elevated by filling vacant spaces with paper lanterns.
Chalkboard
Consider carrying a chalkboard theme across the party, to double as decor and activities! Leave brightly colored chalk near the board and invite guests – young and old – to write a birthday greeting or draw a picture for the guest of honor.
Balloons Backdrop
With primary color balloons, create a colorful backdrop. Allow plenty of time for all of the balloons to be inflated. Start at the top and work your way down, affixing them to the wall with tape loops, as soon as possible before the party (you don’t want to start too far in advance or your balloons will start coming off the wall).
Table Setting
The risers from Sesame Street give your table a whole new look. They can be made out of diaper boxes that have been wrapped in paper and embellished in a Sesame Street-inspired manner.
Arrange a balloon in the shape of Elmo’s face to add some Elmo personality to your celebration with no work. Decorate the walls with Elmo banners or one with the name of the birthday boy or girl. To welcome guests, lay a balloon wreath or an Elmo Air walker balloon at the entryway.
Sesame Street Pinata
You’ll know when it’s time after dessert. Of course, it’s pinata time. All of the kids will have a blast searching for the lucky string that releases all of the sugar and sweets with this charming Elmo pull string pinata.
Sesame Street Birthday Cakes
A beautiful Sesame Street candle set and swirl lollipops adorned a bright yellow and red cake. There are numerous cake options in the bakery department of grocery stores. Purchase one that will complement your party’s theme.
You can even purchase a naked or all-white cake and then adorn it with candle sets, color-coordinated chocolates, figures, and other embellishments. It’s an excellent method to save a significant amount of money at your party.
Yellow, blue, and red jelly beans were placed in clear candy buckets, as well as yellow, blue, and red swirl lollipops.
Cupcakes with Sesame Street candles atop them were served, as were cookies with a plethora of bright sprinkles. To wash down all the treats, Elmo beverage cups were supplied.
Purchase an outstanding set of Sesame Street cake supplies to ensure that your cake is a hit with the kids. Muppet candles, Elmo cake pans, cupcake stands, and so much more are just a few examples.
Games
Keeping a group of children interested with activities like building blocks, coloring, sticker books, Lego sets, or face painting. Prepare an Elmo printable, crayons, and markers for each participant by covering your table with paper or plastic sheets.
To keep children from being overly excited, it’s a good idea to alternate peaceful and active games. For kids, pinning Elmo’s nose can be a fun game. Allowing them to write their names where they fell while blindfolded one at a time.
Sesame Street Medal
Giving the player who came closest a Sesame Street medal as a prize will only add to their delight. Colored water in plastic bottles with cartoon faces on the front. Toss glow stick bracelets at plastic bottles filled with colored water and adorned with Sesame Street character faces as a ring toss game.
Tossing rubbish into a trash can adorned with Sesame Street characters allows children to practice their aim. Parents can start the party while the kids are having fun.

Hot Potato
Play hot potato, but let children pass around a stuffed Elmo while you play music from Sesame Street. The child holding Elmo when the music stops is out.
Pin the Feet on Big Bird
You can also play “pin the feet on Big Bird.” Make a big body out of yellow construction paper and mount it on a bulletin board or a wall at child height. Then use white, blue and black crayons to add details to his body.
Finally, make orange legs – as many as you’ll need to give one to each child. Write their names on it so you know who each one belongs to.
Place a blindfold over each child and give each one a turn to tape the legs on the big bird. There will be lots of laughs. The child who gets the closest, wins!
