World's Greatest Sesame Street Finger Puppets

My friend Sean just uploaded this amazing home video of his third birthday in 1975. Bert and Ernie handpupets, an Oscar Finger Puppet and a Grover book are just some of the treats in this birthday loot!

Awesome! I wish we had home movies from when we were kids... My father had the camera and stuff but never used it.

Neat stuff!

That is too cool. Thanks for sharing. I love some of the classic kid moves- tossing the card aside to get to the present, the last present lying, discarded on the floor as you tear open the next one. That's a pretty rockin' cake at the end, also.

Just think, in the 2010 version of a toy-based nostalgia site, everyone will most likely have videos to post of their early Christmases. I am so jealous.

Mego Scott, do you know who transferred that film to video/DVD? I have tons of old movies that I need to transfer and need to find a good company to do it.

My 4 year old son just took an Ernie finger puppet to school today. I was very proud of his choice.

Great video and soundtrack! Thanks for sharing, Scott! I, too, wish I had videos like this from my early birthday's and Christmases.

I love old footage like this, thanks for sharing it, very cool.

I had that Ernie & Bert Set when I was a little kid. I loved those puppets to death. I think I had a Big Bird & Oscar The Grouch too.
