Alice Snuffleupagus

Alice Snuffleupagus is Snuffy's two-year-old sister, of the Snuffleupagus species. She is a lighter brown than Snuffy and wears a blue bow on her head. As a baby-upagus, she is just starting to learn about the world. She also likes to do whatever her older brother does, including roller skate. Her birthday is December 21st, and according to Episode 2621, she weighs 317 lbs.
Alice appeared on Sesame Street beginning in Season 19. She was first mentioned in Episode 2400 as Big Bird writes about his best friend's little sister before making her debut in Episode 2410, and was seen through Season 33 with her last appearance in Episode 4005. Although she was dropped from the show following that season, she appeared in the 2002 "We Are Family" music video and continued to be seen with the cast on their Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float through 2008.
==Behind the Scenes==
The Alice puppet is much smaller than Snuffy and is operated by a single puppeteer. The performer wears a bodysuit with straps and buckles, that attaches to the inside of Alice's body. The suit is too small for the performer to wear the chest-mounted TV monitors that other full-body characters wear to watch their performance during the take. Between takes, an assistant can fan the performer's face, through the mouth. Her eyes are controlled by remote control, a first for the series.Hellman, Peter. "Street Smart." New York Magazine. November 23, 1987. By season 23, a trigger mech was added so the performer inside can open and close Alice's mouth.
A younger sibling for Snuffy was initially pitched in 1978, where Snuffy would've had a bipedal, younger brother.
A 1987 article in New York Magazine about the upcoming season of Sesame Street focused on Sladky's first screen test as Alice. The article offers a behind-the-scenes look at the process of creating Alice, as well as the producers' hopes for the character's popularity:
