A lot of made-for-kids television is based on fast action and quick edits, so it’s nice to return to some slower-paced visuals every once in a while — especially smart ones. This Shape Organization video is a compilation of four super-short shape sorting segments featured in the 419th episode of Sesame Street. It originally aired on November 30th, 1972, and is shared online by the Monsterpiece Theatre YouTube channel.
If you’re looking for a more saturated version, try the one below. It includes a quick but clumsy edit after the first part, a cameo by Burt, Ernie, and a friend from Sesame Street, but is otherwise solid.
