Sesame Street Content Now Available on PlayKids

SUNNYVALE/NEW YORK: PlayKids has teamed up with Sesame Workshop to bring Sesame Street content to its mobile entertainment and education platform for children.

Segments and music videos are being featured in the PlayKids app, while eBooks are in the Stories app. Availability of content varies by country. Sesame Street segments and music videos are offered in the U.S. and Canada; Elmo’s World is in Brazil; Abby’s Flying Fairy School can be watched in the U.K.; and Elmo the Musical is in Latin America. eBook titles available around the world include Abby in Wonderland, The ABCs of Cookies, Elmo Loves You and How to Be a Grouch.

“Not every child has access to a TV, but increasingly, kids have access to a mobile device or tablet, under parental supervision,” said Flavio Stecca, the CEO of PlayKids. “The PlayKids platform is combining the best existing kids’ content with our own original band of characters and democratizing access to a world of curiosity, imagination, learning and laughing.”

“For over 45 years, Sesame Workshop’s recipe for success lies in combining our research-driven curriculum with the sophisticated use of media and the latest technology,” added Jennifer A. Perry, the VP of North America media products and publishing at Sesame Workshop. “We’re excited to see Sesame Street content reach even more fans via the PlayKids platform.”

PlayKids is available on Android, iOS, Apple TV and Apple Watch. A single subscription provides full access to PlayKids, PlayKids Stories, PlayKids Talk and PlayKids Fly.
