Sesame Street Tool Kits for Parents
SesameStreet.org provides a vast amount of toolkits to aid parents with a multitude of topics that range from basic steps in a child’s development all the way to topics such as personal loss, healthy habits, military families, and more.

Sesame Street Toolkits for Emergency Preparedness / For Emergency Aftermaths 
As part of a collaboration between the PSEG Foundation and Sesame Workshop multiple materials and trainings have been created involving emergency preparedness on a variety of topics, including initiatives that can be incorporated into a family’s routine.

The initiatives are aimed at instituting emergency preparedness into families’ routines through simple tips, strategies, and activities, as well as prepare families with effective and comforting ways to respond when a disaster occurs. The APP and associated materials can be used in the home, as well as the classroom, and all materials are provided in English and Spanish.
