Sesame Street Magazine

Sesame Street Magazine is a children's magazine published by Children's Television Workshop to support the educational initiatives of Sesame Street. It was published monthly from 1970 until the mid-2000s.

As of approximately 2002, Sesame Street Magazine became a supplement to Parenting magazine, available only to subscribers. In 2008, the magazine became a free publication available for download at Sesameworkshop.org. It appears to have ceased publication at the end of 2011.

Several other countries, including Brazil, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, and Indonesia have published their own counterparts to Sesame Street Magazine, based on their localized productions.

Note: From 1978-1980, the Magazine staff mislabeled some of the issue numbers. The issue numbers on this page are from the indicia of each issue, with an asterisk next to the incorrect numbers. The mistake was caught and fixed in the middle of 1980. There was a similar problem in 1982-1984, which may not have been fully corrected.

References

The magazine itself was referenced as an inside joke in the Sesame Street book Don't Forget the Oatmeal!, with Bert and Ernie appearing on the cover of an issue in the checkout line.

Mr. Hooper is seen selling copies of the magazine at Hooper's Store in the 1983 storybook The People in Your Neighborhood.
