Features of the Cookie Monster’s Challenge App include:
- Ten Mini-games – Games present exciting challenges designed to give children the opportunity to practice self-control, focus and memory.
- Nine Levels – With each level, the mini games become more challenging, keeping children engaged and motivated.
- One Crazy Cookie Making Contraption – As children complete levels, they earn pieces of a giant and hilarious cookie-making machine that they can use to decorate the cookies they’ve earned and deliver them to their hungry friend, Cookie Monster.
- Profiles – Children and parents can create up to three separate profiles so that everyone in the family can progress through the game at their own pace.
Cookie Monster’s Challenge helps kids develop the school readiness skills that will be highlighted in SESAME STREET’s 45th anniversary season, which will include new installments of the wildly popular “Cookie’s Crumby Pictures,” a five-minute segment featuring Cookie Monster that helps children learn self-regulation skills and strategies.
Other highlights for the new season include new letter and number of the day dance breaks; new original songs; new street stories; new “Elmo the Musical” and “Super Grover 2.0” segments; new animations; and, as always, new spoofs and celebrity appearances.
