Ernie, the outgoing foil to the more serious and responsible Bert, is great at explaining things, but can sometimes be a bit too smart for his own good.
He is well known for his fondness for baths with his Rubber duck and for having trouble trying to learn to play the saxophone because he would not “put down the duckie.” The Rubber Ducky song is well known throughout the world.
Ernie talks himself into some tight corners, and often falls prey to his own jokes, yet his free-spirited approach to his successes and failures makes him one of Sesame Street’s most enduring and likeable characters.

Continuing further with our biographies of the main Sesame Street characters, today we find out more about Cookie Monster.

Bert is the long-suffering sidekick of Ernie. He is more mature, analytical, and considers himself the voice of reason in their relationship. Though seemingly older and wiser, Bert can be rather eccentric and though intelligent, he is also grumpy, boring and easily frustrated.

Continuing our short biographies of Sesame Street characters, we’re introducing Big Bird – a personal favourite.
Big Bird – sometimes referred to as bird by his friends, is an 8’2″ tall 6-year-old yellow bird. Children understand and identify with Big Bird’s excitement over new things as well as his disappointment when things don’t work out or when he makes mistakes. They also see his willingness to try again, to correct his mistakes and just by being persistent, find solutions to problems.

When our range of new Sesame Street soft toys arrived last week, I have to admit that although I found the soft toys fun and colourful, I didn’t know much about the Sesame Street Muppets.
Tickled by curiosity, I have done my research and got to know this friendly bunch a little better. Let’s start with Elmo – a long-standing Sesame Street favourite.
