I remember seeing a few commercials for it way back in the day. |

I also had a lot of these games growing up, but these are more question and answer type educational games; the one I'm looking for specifically was more art focused and less educational if that makes sense. |

Here's a gameplay video I found of it on YouTube: |

Here's a gameplay video I found of it on YouTube: It's possible I'm mixing this one up with the Muppets one, but I think they were both pretty similar if not! Like I said, I played a lot of these. I remember the coloring pages were printable ones, not ones you can color in-game. The sticker game in this one seems like it matches what I remember, but this game doesn't have the music section which is what I'm specifically looking for! I also don't remember the dress up section in this game, but again it could be a case of mixed up memory. |

Do you remember around what years this might've been from? I actually remember having a Muppets PC game that sounds somewhat similar. I would've have it between 1999-2001. Since this was 20 years ago my memory of it isn't the best, but I remember Animal being in it, and I think remember the sky would change colors (whether that was something you were able to change or just something the game did on its own, I have no idea. It was definitely an edutainment game. Unless you were describing Kermit's Electronic Storymaker. I know that one let you make animated scenes with the Muppets, though that one's quite a bit older than the one I'm thinking of. |

It would have had to have been around the early 2000's that I played it. I had quite a few older games that I played well into the 2000s, but a late 90s or early 2000s release makes the most sense in this case I think. Definitely not Kermit's Electronic Storymaker! |

The comment by mediaprincess6417 got me looking closer at the Creative Wonders Sesame Street games as the sticker game in the video they provided dug up memories the closest to what I remember, although I may have been mixing that game up with the music game I am looking for. Either way, I thought I may have been mixing up a different Creative Wonders Sesame Street game for this one, but looked around and only found "Elmo's Preschool" and "Sesame Street: Music Maker" neither of which match my memories at all. Still wasn't able to find anything on Reddit or other Muppets media forums other than my own posts asking about the game to no results. At this point, I am reluctant to the fact I'll be haunted by Maple Leaf Rag forever with no answers. đ„ |
