The Big Moving Adventure

Sesame Street's The Big Moving Adventure is an interactive app designed to make the moving process fun for young children (ages 2-5). The app allows children to create their own Muppet friend and guide them through the various stages of moving, including hearing the news, packing, saying goodbye, expressing feelings, traveling, exploring the new home, and making new friends. The Parents Section of the app provides more detailed tips and suggestions for families who are in the process of relocating. Additionally, the app allows users to take pictures of real places to help children understand that their community grows with every move they make.

The app offers a variety of features to engage and educate children about the moving process. Children can customize their Muppet friend and help them pack their belongings, choose which special items to bring along, and say goodbye to people and places in different ways. They can also explore their feelings about the move and color in a postcard from their toys as they travel to their new home. The app also includes a scavenger hunt and the opportunity to meet new friends, including familiar Sesame Street characters.

The Big Moving Adventure app was created with the understanding that moving can be a stressful experience for children, especially those in military families who may move multiple times during their childhood. The app aims to help children prepare both physically and emotionally for any type of move. It familiarizes children with important moving steps, models different ways to say goodbye, and introduces strategies for making new friends.

The app is part of Sesame Workshop's ongoing efforts to support military families. Sesame Workshop is a nonprofit educational organization known for its groundbreaking children's show, Sesame Street. The organization is dedicated to providing educational resources and support for children and families, and the app is just one example of their commitment to this mission.
