Let Your Child Have a Sleepover Every
Night: New Sesame Street Wall Decor Lets Best Friends Last A Lifetime
(ARA)
- Sesame Street’s Elmo, Zoe, Big Bird and Cookie Monster hold
a special place in the hearts of children around the world. Now
you can surround your little one with their favorite Sesame Street
buddies in the form of wall décor that you both can appreciate
in the comfort and safety of your child’s own room.
New this fall, Sesame Street wallpapers
bring Sesame Street’s lovable
characters to life in a whole new way. “Elmo Wants a Hug” and “Zoe
Loves to Dance” are irresistible child-size cut-outs; everyone from Ernie
to Elmo appear on use-anywhere appliqués; there is even a growth chart
that can be personalized with your child’s name.
Most importantly, Sesame Street wallpapers
reflect Sesame Street’s primary
purpose of educating children and enriching their lives. The new “ABC” border
includes the entire alphabet featuring a corresponding icon for every letter
such as a penguin for “P” and a tiger for “T”. The
colorful “123 Border” counts all the way to ten and illustrates
the accurate number of balloons or birthday candles for each number. “These
wallpapers are as engaging as they are educational,” says Maura Regan,
vice president and general manager of global licensing for Sesame Workshop,
the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street. “They are
designed to help children think, discover and prepare for school, and the learning
is meant to be joyful.”
Even the clever character wallpapers make
learning fun while conveying comfort and love. “Street Scenic” border is as interactive as a children’s
picture book, and “Sesame Street Gang” cut-out shows the whimsical
characters sharing the spotlight in colorful, smiling splendor. “The
borders and appliqués can be hung at changing-table height or chair-rail
height, wherever children can most enjoy them,” says Deb Zadnik, design
director for Village, the company that created the wallpapers. “There
is reassurance in seeing familiar, friendly faces while lying in bed or coloring
at the desk. It’s also great to hang the ‘ABC’ and ‘123’ border
just above the floor molding so even the tiniest tots see the bright colors
and shapes while playing or crawling. These wallpapers meet kids at their level,
and bring comfort and stimulation to them in the safest place of all, their
own rooms.”
Sesame Street wallpapers are part of the “Completely Kids” children’s
wallpaper collection from Village, available at wallpaper stores nationwide.
Proceeds that Sesame Workshop receives from wallpaper sales help fund educational
programs for children around the world.
