A Brief History of Sesame Street
When was Sesame Street made? The show first aired on November 10, 1969, forever changing the landscape of children’s television. It was created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, with a bold mission: to use the power of media to educate children, especially those from underserved communities.
Developed by the nonprofit Children’s Television Workshop (now known as Sesame Workshop), Sesame Street blended education with entertainment in a way no show had before.
Set in a friendly urban neighborhood filled with Muppets, real people, and musical lessons, the show made learning letters, numbers, and empathy both fun and memorable. It introduced unforgettable characters like Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, and the Count all designed to teach through humor, curiosity, and heart.
Over the decades, Sesame Street has become more than a TV show; it's a global symbol of inclusive learning, emotional development, and joyful childhood memories. And now, with officially licensed building block figures, that legacy continues in hands-on, collectible form.

Why It’s Called “Sesame Street” And Why It Still Matters
Ever wondered why it's called Sesame Street? The name was inspired by the magical phrase “Open Sesame” from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, a metaphor for unlocking treasures.
In this case, it symbolizes opening the door to knowledge, especially for young children. When the creators were naming the show, they wanted something that evoked curiosity, imagination, and a sense of wonder. “Sesame Street” captured all of that in two words.
The series was brought to life by visionary producers Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, with help from a team of educators and artists under the Children’s Television Workshop. Their goal?
Make learning accessible, especially for children from underserved communities. Through catchy songs, silly skits, and lovable monsters, they built an educational program unlike anything before it.

With their bright colors, expressive designs, and clever articulation, Sesame Street toys in building block form unlock endless possibilities for imaginative play. Whether you're a child discovering characters for the first time or an adult collector reliving cherished memories, these figures offer more than static displays; they're built for action, storytelling, and joy.
