Shape Organization, a Sesame Street classic

Watch more with these video collections:

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.
