Japanese Seasame Street?

Alright kids, I'm doing the whole "All Japanese All the Time" thing to learn Japanese (of course I'm breaking the rules by being on an Enlgish site, but let's get real - I can either learn AND enjoy some of my English stuff OR learn and be completely bored with shit that I don't understand at all.

Anyways, I was wondering if there's like a Japanese equivalent of Sesame Street where it helps introduce some basic phrases and symbols into small Japanese childrens' minds. I think that having more experience WHILE I learn my kanji will help a bit.

おかあさんといっしょ, にほんごであそぼ, からだであそぼ and Beポンキッキ

There used to be a number of TV programmes of this kind but now no more than the above four as long as I know.
