Cookie Monster Sock Puppets & Celebration
Even though the Muppets officially like to recognize Cookie Monster’s Birthday as November 2, it looks like it is also recognized on May 25, the birthday of Frank Oz, one of the famous Jim Henson puppeteers.
We think ANY excuse to celebrate Cookie Monster is a good one!
Celebrate this cookie lover by making your own Cookie Monster puppet!
