Join Elmo and Cookie Monster in their Alphabet Kitchen! Children can learn their ABCs by creating alphabet soup and baking cookies. This app will help your child identify letters, recognize letter sounds, and trace letters. They will also practice early literacy skills such as matching upper and lowercase letters, and learning common words. With the help of their favorite Sesame Street friends, toddlers and preschoolers will develop a foundation for reading and writing through interactive, hands-on cooking activities.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

85/100

Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen is one of the best educational apps for toddlers on the market. It manages to make the repetitive nature of letter learning feel like a fun creative activity. Cookie Monster and Elmo are great hosts, and the voice work is authentic, which helps keep kids engaged.

What I love as a parent is that it doesn't just focus on the names of letters, but also on their sounds and how they combine into words. The cookie decorating at the end of each segment is a great reward that allows for some creative play. It’s safe, educational, and high-quality—exactly what you’d expect from Sesame Workshop.

What happened to Tiggly?!?!?
Fri Jan 31 2020 zakaro13

I finally got some tiggly letters for my son and we open the app to play and NO tiggly option!!! That’s the whole reason I wanted the letters! This is one of my sons favorite apps and I thought it would be nice to be able to sensory play with it but guess not. So sad!!

It’s good, I love it
Sat Jan 24 2026 I plead the fifth now

If it’s in square brackets, it doesn’t matter [1. There’s a lack of word combinations on the device I use (only “b_t, b_g, p_t”) 2. The game states you can create 90 or more words or something similar but on my device, there’s only 15 3. Why were the combinations with blends and some CVC combinations removed] (Edit 1/2: I figured out the game adjusts automatically, but I have 1 new issue, the game keeps gets sent back to older combinations that were already done)(Edit 2/2: I don’t like that a few combinations only works for one vowel, which are the following: (g_ft, cl_m) Suggestions: | More Blends: There’s a blend at the beginning and at the end like for an example (st_ck, works on 80% of the vowels, words are stack, stick, stock, & stuck.) | More Letters. Letters that didn’t exist would be added which are q (nearly impossible since Q has to be followed by a U and then another vowel that isn’t U, w, x, y, z, Ideas for the topic, qu_ck, w_nt, z_p, w_x, y_m | Printables, Customizable Word Building Levels, & Multiple User Profiles: Just to be more accessible. | Sorry this is really long)

Great companion to Square Panda

We had this app in the rotation of letter sense and pre-reading for my daughter from around age 2.5. The graphics capture the real-life puppets very well, and the voice work is top notch. She’s 6 now, and still asks for this game by name every so often. We would do 10 minutes each day rotating across this game, Square Panda app and pieces, and Marbotic app and pieces, and Teach Your Monster To Read app.

My daughter loves this game, however, please remove the advertisement square at the bottom right corner, I paid for the full version of this game, and every time my daughter clicks on it and interrupts the game, she gets upset. She’s one, she doesn’t know how to go back to the game.

Love this app!

I never write reviews -and I don’t usually buy apps - but this has been the best cheap game ever for my toddler. She’s actually only 2 but she has loved this since she was a year old and is already learning her letters. Bonus: Keeps her bum on the toilet when we are potty training!

Great for my child learning phonics and letters! MUST BUY FOR CHILDREN WHO NEED TO LEARN
Sun Mar 08 2026 georlol123

It was a good $2 well spent. My children has been a lot in their iPads in this game. I loved them to see them learning.

Needs an update.

Has not been updated in 2 years. Great game, but my app keep crashing now that I’ve updated my phone. Can’t open game at all.

Very Limited for a paid app
Fri Apr 03 2020 Dezignerjen

I’m disappointed the Cookie Monster game only has b_t, p_t, and b_g options. My niece has FreeTime unlimited on a kindle. when she showed me this app, she made the word “ham” so I’m unsure why the iOS version is so limited.
