Subscribe: Win A K’NEX Sesame Street Building Set
Award-winning children’s toy maker K’NEX just introduced Sesame Street-Themed Building Sets for children ages two years and older- the youngest audience yet for a K’NEX toy!
These new sets were designed to provide an easier building experience for young children. With just a little help, my 2 1/2 year old product tester had no problem manipulating the different K’NEX rods, connectors and blocks to build a custom-version of Cookie Monster.
According to K’NEX, construction toys and blocks support the development of hand-eye coordination, encourage imaginative play and give children the opportunity to practice problem-solving.
With Elmo, Cookie Monster, Ernie and Oscar the Grouch Sets available for $10.99, your little ones will have a ball building their favorite characters. With just 14-15 pieces, these sets are easy for young pre-schoolers to build and a perfect introduction to building blocks. For a bigger challenge, try the 46 part Elmo’s World or Bert & Ernie building sets ($21.99) or the 80 piece Cookie Monster & Hooper’s Store building set ($31.99).
Want It:
These sets are available online at Knex.com and at Amazon.com and in-store at your local toy store.

My fondest Sesame Street Memory would have to be the one that happend last week. My daughter started saying la, la la to Elmo’s World. Its special because until now its only been dadda said in our house.
I LOVED Sesame Street growing up. And I love when my girls watch it. I like how Sesame Street responds to things that are happening, to help kids understand. They did a storm episode after Katrina (I think), and everyone helped Big Bird rebuild his nest.
I love Elmo! Oh. And so does my son (blush).
My fondest recollection of these guys was awhile ago , okay a LONG while ago when I took my now eldest son to see Sesame Street Live! As parents, we were hyped! As a three year old, he had no idea what was going on!
Much to our delight, Elmo came waltzing down the aisle and out of everyone there(!) picked OUR SON to go onstage with him. We were sure that this was our sons fifteen minutes of fame. The only problem was that no amount of coaxing, cajoling or bribing would get Dylan to go onstage. He was terrified and Elmo ran off.
That’s my favorite memory for sure!
i love sesame street too! my favorite memory of sesame steet is counting with the count! it was always so much fun to see what the magic number of the day was. thanks!
Simply thinking of sesame street makes me smile! It was definately a favorite when i was growing up and to think its still around for MY babies to enjoy!
there wasn’t K’NEX when I was a kid, but I loved the segment where ernie’s taking a bubble bath and singing the rubber duckie song. in fact, I still remember the catchy lyrics and sing it to my daughter while giving her a bath.
I always loved Kermit Man on the street piece.. also the Count..
One Ahahahha
TW0 ahahaha lol what was better than that? Thank you so much for a chance to win my boys would love this!
Sesame Street is so great! Not only did I love it growing up, but I love seeing my kids learning stuff while watching it now. My daughter who is 4 and has special needs is absolutely IN LOVE with Elmo and Grover. She was in heaven when we took her to see Sesame Street Live back in January. We had such a great time!!!
Oh I have alway liked Elmo!! My granddaughter loves him too!!
my favorite memory is hearing my littles ones sing along with the theme song for the first time!
thanks!

My favorite Sesame Street memory is snuggling up with my daughter while pregnant with my son and watching the show.
My favorite memory is being scared of the Yip yips, only because now I think it is hilarious that I was scared.

I watched Sesame Street all the time as a kid – it was fairly new back then. ;) My mom was amazed at how early and how well I learned all of my letters and numbers. :)
My fondest memory of Sesame Street was Cookie Monster,Oscar The Grouch,Elmo,Ernie,Bert,Kermit
The Frog and the Letter E and Number 4. Thank you for bringing back some fond memories!
I’ve watched Sesame Street my whole life (even in college!) =)
And now I love to watch it with my own kids.
My favorite character is Oscar the Grouch. Scram!
I can’t see Ernie without thinking about my brother. He LOVED Ernie. He learned to read by memorizing the book “Ernie’s Big Mess” – my parents had to buy multiple copies because he read it so much. He was Ernie for Halloween one year (including a huge orange head). And most memorably, our mom made Ernie and Bert dolls for him. Ernie was SO loved (until he was bald and threadbare) that Mom had to make another one.
I was on the fence as to whether or not to take my 20 month old to see the “When Elmo Grows Up” this weekend. He loves all the characters on Sesame Street so much but is he ready for a full blown show? Well, he quickly answered my question when a commercial for the show came on and he squealed with delight. He made me rewind and play the commercial about 20 times. I quickly called for tickets after that. My Sesame Street memories have always been fond but I think they are even better watching them through my son.
I use to love Sesame Street. These building sets are so cute. Please enter me. Thanks
I would pick Oscar, as that is what we are going to name our next son.’
I would love to win this prize for my grandson who loves Elmo.
My favorite memory of sesame street is back in the 70s, it was one of the few shows on for kids and my brother and I made a big deal of watching it and the electric company and then wonder woman.
Now, i create new memories with the girls watching them and their love of all the same characters I loved :)
My favorite product is the Cookie Monster Building Set. My daughter would love these.
ayancey@dishmail.net
my grandson received an off road racing set that we put together
I like the KNEX Sesame Street toys and the Penguin Pals. My grandsons love Sesame Street and like Penguins.
My favorite memory is having Kermit the frog report the news during Sesame Street.
I loved Sesame Street as a child. From that show I learned that the whole world was not populated by people that looked like I did. The many nationalities captivated me.
My son would love it.

I loved the Twiddlebugs! I was always so excited when the zoomed in on that window box! Thanks for the chance to win!
We have bought lots of k-nex sets so I dont realy have a favorite.
My favorite sesame charachter is the grouch…I love his green tangled up fur and the fact that he lives in a garbage can and grumbles about something every time he comes out! That gang lives forever. :)
my favorite memory is hearing my kids learn to count along with The Count. They even developed quite an accent while enumerating.
My favorite memory is Ernie singing Rubber Ducky!
i always loved Big bird and Snufalafagus… i wanted to cuddle up with him!
I like the KID K’NEX Playground Pals ;)
The Dancing Elmo was my grandson’s favorite, he just loved that thing.

My favorite memory of Sesame Street is when my niece Amanda would watch Elmo. Elmo did the batty bat dance. She would grab a bath towel and run around the living room singing Elmo songs and yelling Batty Bat!!!!! It made me laugh so hard, those are precious years. We all love ELMO!!! ELMO ROCKS!!
I watched sesame street before school everyday.
I like the K’New Elmo product
Sesame Street memory when I was a kid: I was watching the honkers (the guys who bonk their noses and honk) and they were going on and on and right when they paused a car horn honked right outside the window. Memory as a mom: Every time Kermit would sing “It’s not easy being green” my daughter would run over to me and hug me. I don’t know why, but she did it every time.
My fondest memory would have to be watching Sesame Street when I was five years old and had chicken pox. I remember sitting on the floor, watching TV and trying not to scratch myself. My Mom sat there and anytime I went to scratch, she’d clear her throat and I’d stop. I still remember that and almost the exact episode that was on TV!
I watched Seasame street ever day at luchtime when i was a kid. Loved JOHN John learning his abc with Grover because my brother’s name was John John.
My favorite K’nex product is the Super Grover Canister set. I cant really pinpoint one memory of Sesame Street. It was a huge part of my childhood, it reminds me of when things were so much simpler and easier.
I saw Seasame Street Live when I was two. It was my first date.Thanks for the entry. angel_2417@yahoo.com
This would be an excellent thing for the autistic class at school. Those kids would love it.
My favorite Sesame Street memory is Ian imitating the count- he does it all the time whenever he counts something and makes that silly laugh sound. Great giveaway, thanks.
I LOVE Sesame Street and my son would love any Knex makes that is for sure! My favorite memory is just singing the theme song as loud as a possibly could. Thanks for the chance, justicecw@hotmail.com
I like the Elmo vet pet building toy.
I love the K’nex roller coasters!
My favorite memories of Sesame Street is of Oscar the Grouch and the Cookie Monster!!!
cjnedrow@gmail.com
I love the Puppy Pets set.
My favorite Sesame Street Memory is from when my loder daughter was little. She would cry whenever Ernie sang the song about Slimie going to the moon.
Mine would have to be the way it was originally when it first started. It was so cool and the puppets were great! Thanks for the contest!
My daughter loves the Abby Cadabby Building set offered by K’NEX. We watch it everyday at 11am and I know I watched it often as a child. Learning is fun!
love k’nex carnival
I used to love mr Hoopers store!
Sharing Sesame Street with my children. My son loved Burt, and my daughter loves Oscar the Grouch.
I LOVED Sesame Street growing up & sons liked too. Thanks!!!
i always loved cookie monster
Thank you for having this! My daughter loves the Abby Cadabby Building Set. Thank you!
tatertot374@sbcglobal.net
I always loved Sesemee St and adored the sloppy Ol Cookie Monster!
that’s pretty cool!
My fondest memory was a Little Golden book, that my mother read to me, it was called.
There is a Monster at the end of the book (or something like that).
I was so excited when I found this book at the store, and was able to share a childhood favorite with my son.
It was about Grover and he didn’t want you to turn the page because he was afraid of the monster at the end. I had to have been young when this book was read to me, but I remember, not wanting to scare Grover, and asking my mom not to turn the page, and then the relieve that I felt when the monster turned out to be…. wait I can’t spoil it for you, you will just have to read it yourself. http://www.amazon.com/Monster-this-Book-Little-Golden/dp/037582913X/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223415965&sr=8-1

I like the Oscar building set from the Sesame Street Line. I also like the Off-Road Racing building set.
my fondest memory is the book, the monster at the end of this book. My mom read it to me all the time and now I read it to my daughter!
i like elmo.
I still have the 45 of Ernie singing “Rubber Duckie”; that would be my favorite.
cookie monster buliding set
I loved snufalupagus! I hope that is sorta close to how you spell his name! I wanted him to cuddle me to sleep!
I always loved Oscar, because he reminded me of me!
Elmo! Ha, ha!
loved the bert and ernie skits
My favorite memory was learning numbers with The Count.
I love the Cookie Monster Building Set :)
I loved the Count! My favorite K’nex set is super grover!
Snufalapagus was my favorite character. I wonder if he ever showed him self to anyone else other than Big bird. They did not have K’nex when I was growing up.
Its a pretty recent memory, but I loved Feist’s recent appearance on Sesame Street.
My favorite was Ernie! I just loved when he sang rubber duckie. Now I always sing it to my sons in the tub, they just love it.. and they sound so cute!
tHis is great
I think the ferris wheel Knex set is cool (for my older son), but the Elmo set is perfect for my daughter. Thanks for the contest.
I like the Collect & Build Ferris Wheel. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the Elmo. :)
I have very fond memories of Sesame Street and especially loved the segments that featured Don Music and Forgetful Jones.
I watch Sesame Street with my son, and I miss some of the segments they did when I was a kid – like the One of These Things Is Not Like the Others game.
Good old snuffy.
I always loved Cookie Monster singing “C is for Cookie” because my name also begins with C.
I was Oscar the Grouch for Halloween and I won that year.
I loved it when Ernie would always bother Bert! Specially when Ernie would get cookie crumbs in Bert’s bed because he didn’t want them in his.
I always loved watching Sesame Street followed by The Electric Company!
I would love to get the Elmo Pet Vet set.
I like the Kid KNex Puppy Pets.
It takes me back to see the Elmo pet Vet thing. It shows how much impact Sesame street has to see that it is a great teaching toy and show.
My Mom used to sing me “The Count’s Lullaby” before I went to sleep. Which included all of the scary things, but it was done in a sweet way. Some of the lyrics were:
Count the footsteps up the stairs,
Count the creaking of the chairs,
Count the clouds that fill the sky,
Keep on counting, don’t ask why.
Go to sleep, my spider dear,
While you’re dreaming I’ll be near.
There’s a full moon in the sky
Shining on my lullaby.
Even though the lyrics were scary, the song was so beautiful, with pretty music that I would never get frightened. I’m 27 now, and I still remember my mother singing that to me and I will sing it to my children.
I’m of the Mickey Mouse Club generation (I’m a grandmother!), but enjoyed watching Sesame Street with both of my children, and now have 2 granddaughters who live near Sesame Place, so we really enjoy meeting all of the characters!
My child ren are all grown but just thinking about when they were young and all three of them watching Sesame street together brings back good memorys to me.
The cookie monster was great!
I recall getting the Fisher Price Play set I had the whole street! I miss that! Was the best Christmas present I got!
Our favorite Knex item is the Puppy Pets. Definitely too cute.
Thank you so much for always offering such wonderful contest.
I would LOVE to win
My favorite sesame street moment was actually the pizza pie elmo toy, my 18 month old started singing the pizza pie song…. it was soooo cute
I loved the christmas on Sesame Street. They sang a song called Keep Christmas With You all Year Long. It was great.
The relationship between Big Bird and Snuffie was always special. Sesame Street was a good model for children to grow up with.

I watched Sesame Street like over 30 years ago and loved along with Electric Company and Captain Kangaroo. So don’t remember any specifics. So my favourite memory would be remembering my toddler watching recently and laughing and learning from the same beloved characters I did so many years ago.
I remember watching Sesame Street in our basement on my parents 13″ black and white television.
My fondest Sesame Street memory is that my daughter who has Cerebral Palsy would just stare at Elmo for hours. He was the only thing that would remotely catch her attention. Sesame street has been the only thing that she seems to relate to.
My fondest memory was my one daughter’s love for Cookie Monster. She loved to imitate the way he says “Cookie”
Koo-kee!
Koo-kee
I can still hear my sister laughing uproariously. Good times.
Mine was when we went to Sesame Place. My daughter was afraid of Big Bird – he was huge!
K’nex has been a savior to my kid’s self-esteem. From his possible ADHD like his biological father, at last I found something that could keep his attention for longer than 6 minutes. This has progressively gotten longer, as the K’nex collection has also gotten bigger. The kid was picked for the robotics team at school, further boosting the self-confidence, and “can do” attitude to anything so far.
Thanks K’nex!
Can’t comment on Sesame Street, except from a DVD. No T.V. in this house. The kid learned “gomen kudasai” from watching Big Bird in Japan, and uses it when visiting or calling out to the neighbor from Tokyo.
I loved Elmo as a kid. When my son asked me what to call his privates, I said Elmo.
When I was a little girl, I used to ask my mother for water in spanish all the time.
we took my elder one when she was 2 1/2 yrs old to a show Sesame street show and watched and danced like crazy. she herself remembers that which is the best part of all.
herry123_us@live.com
My daughter always watched Sesame Street. Thank goodness it is educational.
My fondest memory is learning to say open and close in Spanish and being very proud of myself.
Kid K’Nex are FABULOUS!!! They have been a constant fixture in my house since 2001 when I got my first set for my then 2 year old son. The sturdiness of the pieces ar great. Pieces are big enough that they can’t get lost and the plastic isn’t the type where it hurts when you step on them! They even make great teether rings for the littlest babies.
And Sesame Street. Well besides growing up with it and loving all of the characters, my love for it got notched up a little the first time my son asked to watch “Sessie Street.” Enough said!
Love the K’Nex Ferris Wheel!!!
I have my own memories of Sesame Street and them my childrens. Elmo was not a part of the show when I was a kid, I loved Grover. I still do. But my daughter loves Elmo.
I like Sesame Street better when I was a child when they had Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Animal, etc. The newer ones have gotten too politically correct.
my favorite while my kids were growing up was big bird…but my grandkids love Elmo…thanks for the great giveaway
Ernie and Bert arguing.
The Super Grover Building Set is my favorite.
My fondest Sesame Street memories are Ernie and Bert…I always got a kick out of them when I was a kid and the “Rubber Ducky” song that Ernie sang!
We have (and love) the K’Nex Playground Pals. It’s a popular toy at our place!
Ernie singing Rubber Ducky is my fondest memory and all of the KNex products are top quality.
Super Grover Building set is great.
I like the Ernie Building Set the best. He’s just so adorable.
I love the super grover K’nex set! My fondest sesame street memory is my daughter always combining bert and ernie if they were one guy, they were both named Bernie in her book!
This is great. My granddaughter learned to count with Bert and Ernie but her favorite was Grouch. She had a stuffed Grouch that was just darling.
i always loved big bird as a kid..he was so cute :)
Cookie monster is my favorite
My favorite Sesame Street memory was the Ernie Duck bathtub skit! I remember dancing around the living room every time that one came on!
My favorite Sesame Street memory is sharing the “two little girls and a little dollhouse” song and sequence with my own daughter — it was a favorite of mine when I was a little girl and it was very special to get to share it with my own daughter on one of the Sesame Street counting DVDs.
Big Bird is just the best pick me up
I love watching Sesame Street with my two young boys. I remember watching it when I was a girl, and it’s great to be able to share that with my children. Thank you so much for the great giveaway!
My fondest memory is of a Muppet building kit I got as a child, I could build my own character and pretend to interact with all my fiends on the show. I loved big bird and cookie monster, and now my son loves them too (and Elmo of course like all the kids these days lol)
My fondest memory of Sesame Street was listening to my daughter count like the Count.
i’ve always been a fan of oscar the grouch :) This is a great set – i havent seen it in the stores! My son would absolutely love this for christmas!
Elmos and his piano was my favorite K’Nex Set. This is my child favorite and I find myself telling everyone to be quite o I can hear the TV when Sesame Street comes on, so we all love good old Sesame Street.
My favorite memory was of Big Bird!
all loved the cookie monster when they were little
My favorite Sesame Street memory: When my older brother and I were little, we used to watch Sesame Street all the time together. I don’t know if you remember the old Humpty Dumpty scetch they had on there, but everytime it cam on, my brother would get terrified and run out of the room. I still laugh about it!
When I was little, my dad and I loooved Sherlock Hemlock and the Twiddlebugs. He’s over 60 now and we still thinks it’s hilarious.
I always loved Grover.
My favorite memory of Sesame Street was when T.R knight(George from Greys Anatomy)was the special guest. He is my favorite character, on my favorite show!…So you could imagine how intently I was staring at that screen, LOL! Probably even more so then my 3 year old son!! Haha….
And the “SUPER grover” K’nex set is “SUPER cute!!”
I remember learning how to count to three in Japanese from Sesame Street — ichi nee san (most likely spelled incorrectly lol) means one two three!
Wouldn’t my Grandkids love this. Their Mother was a big Sesame Street fan.
my 4 kids and grandkids have all lived growing up watching sesame street and had many toys with the sesame street theme.The most outstanding item in my memory was the oscar the grouch alarm clock my son owned.we heard each morning oscar say time to wake up. time for another crouchy day!:)
I love all the songs like the rubber ducky song from Ernie
would love to win this prize for my grandson who loves elmo thanks
I loved Sesame Street as a kid! My favorite segment was when the Beetles sang “Letter B.”
I like the Sesame Steet line, but I like the different roller coasters for my older kids My little boy would love this
Seasame Street on ice.
When my grandaughter & I were looking at their sets she loved Abby Cadabby Building Set.
My favorite Sesame Street memory was when the would play an animated song called “Felines” (sung to the tune of “Feelings”). For some reason, that song always makes me weepy. It’s just so cute.
Oscar the Grouch me without sleep
My fondest memory is of my grandson laughing with delight with the Elmo Christmas present he received.
He was so happy.
