Mrs. Sparklenose is the teacher at Abby's Flying Fairy School on Sesame Street. She is the smallest character, resembling a tiny pixie akin to the traditional depictions of Tinkerbell in Peter Pan.
Mrs. Sparklenose gently guides her class through various tests of their magic and logic skills, usually with badges or other rewards following. Her size makes her the most vulnerable, however, as in the segment where she's sucked into a genie's bottle.
The segment was originally named "Mrs. Sparklenose's Flying Fairy School." The early pitches suggest she has been running the school for around 427 years and, since the school can be brought all over the globe, she is fluent in several different languages.[1]
