Here are the details:
Travel with fun-loving Muppets Elmo and Murray from Sesame Street to two of America’s most popular national parks in a new online series, Sesame Street Explores National Parks. Six short videos and accompanying hands-on activities that introduce preschoolers to the natural world were unveiled today by Sesame Street, the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation.
The videos offer a multimedia park experience for children ages 3-5 and their families and educators, using the power of media to promote science learning through experiences in national parks as well as in local parks and backyards.
Park rangers from Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona and Gateway National Recreation Area in New York City encourage Elmo, Murray, and children across the country to utilize all of their senses to investigate and observe the outdoors. The videos teach young people about habitats, seasons, plants, and animals. They learn how to conduct an animal survey, look for nests, identify migration patterns, and simply listen to the sounds of nature.
