Connecting children to nature through play

Build the Change for Little Ones is a collaboration between Sesame Workshop and the LEGO Group's social impact program, Build the Change, inspiring children aged 4-to-6 to connect with and care about nature, with the help of some familiar Sesame Street friends.

Creative activities and short films starring familiar Sesame friends invite children to reflect on the amazingness of everyday animals like bats, butterflies, and worms, and to build pretend homes for these familiar creatures. They’ll be encouraged to explore what animals need to thrive, the important roles they play in nature, and how we can use creativity to help them.
