| Image | As seen in / Year | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 |
unaired Wheels, Crowns and Flutes commercial (1966) |
Cookie Monster, first known as the Wheel-Stealer in an unaired commercial for General Foods' Wheels, Crowns and Flutes snacks. |
 |
IBM training film "Coffee Break Machine" and The Ed Sullivan Show (1967) |
The monster retains his teeth and his fur is dark green with a few brown-black patches. |
 |
Munchos commercials (1969) |
Arnold, a smaller, younger-looking version of the Wheel Stealer puppet, is created for commercials for Munchos. The puppet has lost its teeth and has light purple fur, appearing closer to the Cookie Monster that will debut on Sesame Street. |
 |
Sesame Street Season 1 - early Season 2 (1969 - 1971) |
Back to his normal size and gaining his trademark blue fur, the monster puppet becomes Cookie Monster during the first season of Sesame Street. This puppet is scruffy and floppy as it is extremely loose and expressive. |
 |
Sesame Street later Season 2 (1971 - 1982) |
Late in the second season, a more refined Cookie puppet is built with a squarer jaw. His eyes are moved higher on his head; further away from his mouth. For a few seasons, Cookie's googly pupils are placed slightly lower, occasionally giving the impression that he's looking downward. |
 |
Sesame Street Season 14 (1982-1984) |
Cookie is rebuilt with a similar design as the former puppet and with brighter blue shag fur. |
  |
Sesame Street (1984-present) |
Two subtly different Cookie Monster puppets have been used interchangeably since the 1980s: One puppet (pictured at top) first appeared in season 16 and has a larger, wider mouth; the other (bottom), which appeared in Follow That Bird and thereafter, has a smaller, more curved mouth. Overall, Cookie's googly pupils have shrunk, and his fur is fluffier and lighter in color. |
 |
The Furchester Hotel (2014 - present) |
A new Cookie puppet with a more circular mouth and longer, frizzier fur first appears in episodes of The Furchester Hotel. The puppet is used concurrently with the previous puppets in new episodes of Sesame Street, starting with season 46. |
