Sesame Street Podcasts

The answer to your pediatrician’s office waiting room nightmares–the Sesame Street Podcast.

Sesame Workshop recently unveiled an updated website with all sorts of fun things for kids to do. Of course, my son is in classic preschooler mode and doesn’t like change so he didn’t appreciate his games being switched up. 

Among the offerings are Sesame Street podcasts based on its Healthy Habits initiative. You can download these to your computer, video iPod or other media player.

Another feature is “playlists” with groupings of games and videos on topics like Ants or All Things Duckie. This is great for your kid’s latest obsession.

Finally, you can enable a special PlaySafe feature that lets you prevent your child from navigating away from the page you have selected for them. This is great for young children who are new to the Internet and may accidentally click another page. It is also wise for more tech-savvy kids who you want to set boundaries for.  I wonder if other kid’s sites have this. It’s a great idea.
