A podcast where we use our imaginations to talk about the things that matter, with the people that matter most. Each episode tells a story that’s amazing, fantastical, and maybe a little bananas, while it tackles the big feelings that come with growing up. And the Imagine Neighborhood gives you and your kids fun activities to do at home, in the car, or anywhere you talk to each other.

There's a new bad guy in town and his name is COVID-19, AKA, the novel Coronavirus. Although Coronavirus has already made many, many people around the world really sick, you don't have to feel helpless. Information is power. On this special PSA for The Story Seeds Podcast, Jason Reynolds, National Book Award finalist and the 2020 National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, inspires us to be everyday superheroes in the fight to stop the spread of Coronavirus. He shares eight simple things kids (and their grownups) can do to fight germs everyday … plus a recipe for home-made hand sanitizer.
Health emergency brings many changes and much uncertainty for young children and their families, but there are things we can do to face each day with optimism and hope. We can practice healthy habits like handwashing and coughing into the bend in our arm. We can offer comfort, connect with, and care for others safely. And we can keep learning and growing at home through everyday routines and simple activities. The resources on this page can help families cope during challenging times.

Things have changed quickly, and they will keep changing. We can’t be perfect, but we can teach our kids how to be flexible and resilient. Emphasizing family time, exploring the world around us, and adding movement breaks will help homeschooling go more smoothly and will naturally minimize screentime for young learners. By staying engaged with your child and their activities both on and off-line, you’ll be making memories that your kids will be talking about long after this health crisis has passed.
These are challenging times, and your friends at Sesame Street are here to help.
