The package included a watercolor painting set, a Cookie Monster plush, a Cookie Monster book, a chef hat, Sesame Street stickers, and a Cookie Monster shaped cookie cutter.

Last year I got to meet Cookie Monster and David Rudman the man behind the Muppet. It was really nice to meet him and talk about Cookie Monster and what Sesame Street is doing with that character.
