Celebrating "A Capitol Fourth" With Your Preschooler

Saturday June 27, 2009

Want to add to your guest list for your 4th of July celebration? How about sending invites to Elmo, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Rosita and the rest of the Sesame Street crew?

OK, so maybe they won't be able to actually visit your house in person, but if you tune into PBS on Saturday, July 4 at 8 p.m., you and your preschooler will be able to celebrate America's birthday with A Capitol Fourth.

Broadcast live from the West Lawn of the United States Capitol, the Muppets will sing a whole bunch of patriotic tunes along with all-star performers Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, Natasha Bedingfield and host Jimmy Smits.

How will you celebrate the 4th of July?
