Sid the Science Kid and Elmo Join Forces Against H1N1

Sid the Science kid and Sesame Street’s Elmo have joined forces with federal authorities this year to teach children and parents about H1N1 flu prevention. The plan-of-attack includes speaking to children about the subject on their level.

Parents heading out with their children H1N1 vaccinations may first want to spend a few minutes with Sid the Science Kid.

Sesame Workshop is the nonprofit education organization behind Sesame Street, and they were one of the first nonprofit organizations to join forces with the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education to urge families to be proactive in preventing the spread of H1N1 and the regular seasonal flu virus.

Sesame Street has launched a number of animated public service announcements in which Elmo talks about flu prevention and staying healthy.  A number of those PSAs are available for viewing on You Tube.  Some favorites are listed below on the topics of planning for flu, learning how to properly sneeze and correctly washing your hands.

Tina Fey’s New Role For Sesame Street

Mom Tina Fey didn’t have to think twice about taking a role in the new Sesame Street DVD.

Mom to 3-year-old Alice, Tina Fey, knew that she had to take the role she was offered for the new Sesame Street DVD, Elmo and the Bookaneers.

The actress told Parents magazine,

“Having grown up watching the show, you don’t think twice. If they call and ask if you want to be on Sesame Street, you’re just like, ‘Absolutely! When and where?’ I was excited when I hear I was going to be with Elmo, because Elmo’s a rock star! And when I got to the set I found out what a juicy part I had - a pirate captain. Just the coolest.”

When asked if her daughter, Alice likes Sesame Street, she replied, “We do [watch Sesame Street] sometimes, but we’ve actually tried to cut out morning-time TV because it makes her a bit antsy. She definitely knows the characters, though. She, like most children, is in love with Elmo. And she also likes Murray.”

She also dished on her daughter’s favorite books for story time. “We’ve been reading Little Bear books - he’s sweet. And my old Babar books from when I was a kid. But the number-one story in our household is Peter Pan.”
