Questor produced a set of Sesame Street hand puppets in 1973 under the Child Guidance label.

The series included Bert, Ernie, and Roosevelt Franklin with rubber heads, and fur-covered monsters including Grover, Herry, Cookie Monster, and Oscar. Count von Count and an Anything Muppet (with changeable eyes, nose, and hair) were produced with fabric heads. There was also a full body puppet of Big Bird whose beak could be moved with a finger inserted in the back of his head, and a later version who was a traditional hand puppet. Later Bert and Ernie puppets were produced with fabric heads.

The toys were distributed in Canada by Irwin Toy Limited. ^[1]
