When we were children, there was none of this Dora the Explorer or all the hundreds of other cartoons that kids get treated to nowadays. No, we had one very important and brilliant programme to teach us all of our life lessons, the brilliant Sesame Street.

Here are eleven things we learned from the greatest kids’ show ever.
1. The Alphabet
Didn’t we learn so much more from the Sesame Street alphabet than the one our parents and teachers taught us from books? Yes. It was far more enjoyable that way. The letter of the day is…
2. How to Count!
Basic Math Skills improved with every episode we watched of Sesame Street purely because of this guy.
3. How to be the best crank in town…
Not everyone was happy and they didn’t have to be, which was great. We were in good company with Oscar.
4. How to Share.
Ok, so this is a little more recent but this was always an important message on Sesame Street.
5. The Importance of Treats.
Well, you know, good treats. Besides all the cookies…
6. Tolerance and Inclusion.
This powerful cover.
7. Your eyelashes can never be too big.
Never. Just check out Snuffleupagus. Beautiful.
8. We can be heroes, just for one day.
Just like Grover. What a hero.
9. Celebrities can be fun too…
They look like they are having too much fun. We’re kind of jealous actually.
10. We all wanted to hug Elmo.
And just generally spend some time with him. LOOK AT HIM!
11. Be Yourself!
Just like Will.i.am!
