What You Need To Know

Season 3 of SESAME STREET, streaming on Netflix,  kicks off with three fun-filled episodes that teach children important lessons about managing emotions like frustration and annoyance and playing well with others, as well as basic skills like counting, matching, and pattern recognition. As we’ve all come to expect, this reboot of SESAME STREET remains incredibly well-made with impressive puppetry, silly scenarios and wonderful music.

In Episode 1, Elmo and his friends stay inside to escape a heat wave. Elmo gets sucked into a game on his tablet, missing out on the fun as his friends create a city made of boxes. A friend helps Elmo understand the importance of putting down his tablet and enjoying the fun imagination can bring.

Episode 2 follows Cookie Monster as he works at his cookie cart, giving away special cookies to customers. When his mom shows up and takes over, Cookie Monster learns how to ask for a little independence kindly.

Lastly, Episode 3 features Elmo launching an imaginary solo mission to space. When his friends decide to join him, the whole gang learns the importance of playing well with others and recognizing when someone wants to be alone.

The first three episodes of SESAME STREET Season 3 offer entertaining storylines that combine silliness with important lessons about emotions and friendships. Children will enjoy watching their favorite characters, and parents will appreciate the program’s more educational aspects.

The first three episodes of SESAME STREET:  Season 3 have a strong moral worldview. They promote friendship and community, encourage apologies when someone is wrong, stress the importance of being a good friend, and highlight the value of teamwork.
