Elmo and Abby’s Birthday Fun Giveaway

May 19, 2009 by Caryn 

This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks for stopping by.  The winners are Shasta, Susan S, Helen.  Congrats!

My son is going to be so excited because Elmo is back with yet another onscreen appearance!  I haven’t seen it yet but on June 2 Elmo and Abby’s Birthday Fun will debut on DVD from Genius Products and Sesame Workshop.

elmoandabby

Here is a little more information about the release from the site:

It’s Dorothy’s birthday on Sesame Street!  Elmo is excited to celebrate his little fish’s birthday, and he has planned a big birthday party. Abby wants to help, but she has never been to a Sesame Street birthday party – only Fairy Tale birthday parties!  Elmo teaches Abby all about pinning the tail on the donkey, playing the pinata game, and opening presents.  Then Abby magically takes Elmo on an adventure to Fairytale Land, where they celebrate Little Red Riding Hood’s birthday.  Join Elmo and Abby as they learn about the many ways that birthdays are celebrated.  With a big flowered hat, a gigantic cake, and a bunch of birthday wishes, Elmo learns the true meaning of a birthday wish!

Be sure to check out the release on June 2.  The DVD will retail for $14.93.

Win It! Three of you will win a copy of Elmo and Abby’s Birthday Fun on DVD.  Simply head on over to Sesame Workshop and tell me something you found interesting on the site!  Comments will close on June 3, 2009 at 10 PM PST.

    I love the way sesame street can break down important issues for little ones to understand

    21 Jennifer on May 20th, 2009 7:42 am

    I really like the fun facts they have on the bottom of the pages. On the Sesame Street Birthday DVD it says that when Sesame Street visited the White House the Secret Service kept hearing Big Bird due to his microphone. That is pretty neat.

    i like that Healthy Habits for Life is a comprehensive, multimedia initiative that uses Sesame Street’s beloved Muppets—and now Michelle Obama—to talk to children and caregivers about healthy living in a fun, practical, and age-appropriate way. The project seeks to establish an early foundation of healthy habits that will better ensure a lifetime of healthy behaviors and happy living.
