When I was a little girl, I used to rev up the ol’ vinyl record player and play the record, Having Fun with Ernie and Bert. It was one of my favorite records to listen to. I have tons of memories where I would listen to this record over and over again with my nieces and nephews, who are my age.
So this last month, my nephew Brad was asking about the vinyl record and wanted to see if we could find it available to buy today. Well, it is not out there anywhere. So I took the old vinyl record to an audio/video place and they copied it over to a CD for me. YEAH! It even has some of the record player noise in the back ground on the CD. Now my kids have been listening to it over and over again and it is the greatest. The favorite song is called, Tiger Hunt. It’s a fun imaginative adventure told by Ernie.
Because I love this CD so much, I want to do a giveaway. One lucky Make and Take reader is going to get an extra copy of this fabulous children’s CD. Just leave a comment on this post by Tuesday night at midnight and you are entered to win. I will announce the winner on Wednesday. Good Luck and get ready to shake it with the Sesame Street Gang!

My four year old would be so into this!
Hi, when my kids were little, we played a cassette tape of the Muppet Show while driving on car trips to visit the grandparents. Even my husband got into it! I now have two grandsons who live far away. I’d love a copy for them.
Love Bert and Ernie!!! Thanks for doing such an awesome giveaway!
I LOVE, LOVE Bert and Ernie! Always have! I, too, have a vintage LP from my childhood, but it’s called “Bert and Ernie At Home.” I have never heard of this one. Oh, what a treasure!! Hope I win!
Your an awesome person to always be giving stuff away. I love your page. My kids would love this. They watch sesame street every day.
No offense… but do you know how that works with copyright laws? Wouldn’t want the RIAA after you.
Bert and Ernie are so fun and I would love to win this for my grandsons. Thanks for all you share with us.
Can I just tell you how my world revolves around Sesame Street. When Carson wakes up, he always asks, “Where’s Daddy?” followed by “Watch Sesame Street?” We cannot leave the house before 10 a.m. because that’s when Sesame Street goes off for us. The other night I convinced Carson to go to sleep by telling him if he went to sleep, Sesame Street would be on when he woke up.
I’ve been searching for this album, my childhood favorite, since my daughter was first born – almost six years ago. Now I have three children, ages almost 6 (feb 11) 3 and 1 years old. I used to listen to this album for hours and was facinated with the Magic Cookie story and map, the imagination song and even the pick up everything and put it away. I’ve been singing my own version of that song from memory for years and it would be great to see if it’s really like I remembered it. I would love a copy of this album!
how cute! My 4 and 2 year old would have a blast with this. How neat that you were able to do that!
Our family would LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
That looks awesome!! Bert and Ernie are the best!! My kids would absolutely love this cd, especially since they enjoy wearing my Ernie slippers!! Go Sesame Street!
I was a huge sesame street fan as a kid! I had a little ernie doll that was my fave! I would love to introduce that to my little guy!
Very nice! :)
I can’t believe I have never seen this before! What a cool give away!
My three kids would love this! I hope I win! And having it sound like a vinal how cute! I loved my vinal record player growing up. Talk about bringing back fun memories! How nice of you!!!!
Oooh, nifty! We would love to jam out to this!
Oh, I sooo have to win this one! Mack would go nuts, not to mention it would be the coolest trip down memory lane!
I love love LOVE Ernie and Bert. When I was little I also loved the Chipmunks album. Then when I was older Bill Cosby’s record was my favorite.
Count me in my kids would love to hear it.
I loved that record when I was a little girl. I also listened to Bill Cosby before I would take my nap. Oh the memories!!!
Hey there, I’ve been checking out your site for a couple months now. You’re so creative! This is the first time I’ve been brave enough to post. Congrats on your pregnancy, BTW. I listed to Psalty the singing Psalter Hymnal when I was little. Too funny! My son is a big Cookie Monster fan. What a fun idea to give something away. I tried the Pay It Forward thing on mysite, but no one took me up on it. Oh well! :)
Oh my gosh! I am totally remembering listening to that . . . I forgot about it, but I remembered the song “Tiger Hunt,” just couldn’t place where it originally came from! It’s funny to hear you call Brad your nephew, cuz it seems like he is as old as you with the two kids each and everything! And Brad has totally been into records since he got his record player for Christmas – funny! I will get a copy from Brad so don’t include me in the giveaway – let someone else enjoy! love ya!
That’s SO fun! We love Bert and Ernie… my kids would have a bunch of fun with this! That was a great idea to convert it to CD.
This is amazing! We were just listening to this record tonight! I got on line to see if we could find it in cd form, as the kids have a hard time with the record player and I’m afraid they will scratch my record! I would love to win this!
My kids would love this (ah hem, “I” would love it)!
I love your blog and love all the fun crafts. I would love to hear this CD. My kids would love this. Go Ernie Go!
This would be fun to listen to with my girls!
who doesn’t love Sesame Street…oh…and free stuff!
YEAH!!! My kids love Bert and Ernie- we watch everyday!!!
When I was little I told my mom that I wanted to move to Sesame Street, only I called it “Ess Meet” I would love to have this CD.
There is nothing better than timeless Sesame Street music playing the the car to and from all the different places my kiddos need to be toted. What a great way to preserve a treasure!
Wow! Another Ernie and Bert fan. My children are grown, but our obsession started when my husband was small. He took his Ernie and Bert hand puppets to college with him and then of course into our home. We’ve since purchased another pair. “The boys” have been an integral part of our life for almost 30 years now. I often tell people who ask why we love them so much that I believe there are basically two types of people – Ernie and Berts. :)
By the way, our favorite is Bert’s Blockbusters. Maybe we need to transfer it to cd before grandchildren.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

My kids would love this! Thanks for all the fun ideas and giveaways!
Great! Sounds like fun.
Oh going back in time…how fun would this be to have for my kiddos!! Pick me pick me….PLEASE!!! =)
Heidi :-)

(Please read above in a “whiny voice”. Thanks.)
i can’t believe you’re so popular that i’m the 37th post…how would it be to be you!!! pick me! pick me! :)
as far as the ultrasound goes, i’m too impatient and controlling not to know, but that’s just me! good luck!!!
What a great idea! Makena is just starting to love Sesame Street. But she absolutely LOVES Stories and music. I hope we win!
My kids would soooo love this!
I just found my old vinyl of this a few days ago…It was way to scratch to even enjoy listening to, a CD would be great for my kids!
Oh My Goodness!! I loved this record as a child. My friends in I keep trying to remember all the songs,(Cookie Monster’s Cookie Song seems To be the favorite). How Nostalgic! My lil girl would love this (and so would I!!)
Not sure if it’s to late to try for this or not. My sister and I did the same thing when we were little! We had a cabbage patch record player and we would go into our Aunt’s room at our grandmothers and crank up #9 Tiger Hunt as well!! I haven’t heard that song since and can still remember what it sounded like. I now teach 2nd grade and would absolutely love to be able to share this with my students. It would be so wonderful to give 20 babies the same memories we had!!!
I am getting ready to visit my two grand daughters who are living in Bogota Columbia and I came across the album cover for this fab record. Both my own daughters spent hours going through these adventures with their pals and Bert and Ernie. Unfortunately I cannot find the record, only the cover. I would really love to introduce my grand daughters to the fun that their mom and aunt had for so many hours. Sesame street in Bogota stinks and I would like to bring this piece of America to them
I have a cd that we made from a tape but I don’t have the magic cookie map for the cookie monster activity. Do you have a copy that you can send me? Thank you Darrol Fairbanks
hi marie! I have 4 little boys, 2,3 & 4 who would just love to do the Tiger hunt! Thanks so much!
I love my two little ones- but this album would be mainly for mama! I would let them sing along if I was lucky enough to get it. I could wax on forever about how much I love this collection of songs but I will keep it simple. This album would put a serious skip in my step. Thanks.
Um, so I know you don’t know me, and this was in January, but my sister and LOVED this record, (especially the Tiger Hunt)when we were little!
Ive been looking for this album for ever for my kids. I remember listening to it over and over Tiger hunt and the stomp stomp songs were my favorite.
My family loved Bert & Ernie’s albums when we were little, and me & my four siblings all argree that it is one of our favorite childhood memories!
