Moving, Talking, Dancing Elmo!
Elmo Live! features the furry, bright-red exterior and the big eyes characteristic of the popular Sesame Street character. He features complex actions that give him a life-like quality: His mouth and head move while he talks, sings, and tells stories; he gestures with his arms, and he moves his legs. He even crosses his legs when he sits on the included stool.

We found him very easy to play with — just press his buttons to get him going. Press Elmo’s foot and he will sit down on his stool to tell you a story. He even gestures to act out parts of his stories! Squeeze his nose, and he’ll make a variety of silly sounds; he’ll even ask you if you “have his nose” and ask you to give it back to him. Squeeze his hand, and he’ll dance. Elmo even blows kisses, asks for hugs, and says he loves you. He tells jokes, acts ticklish, and more.

When he’s laid on his back, or if your child doesn’t play with him for a while, Elmo will go into a battery-save mode. He’ll yawn, say he’s tired, and shut down. Just press one of his buttons to get him going again.

Interactive Fun for Kids of Many Ages
We particularly enjoyed that, unlike some other “talking” toys, Elmo Live! doesn’t just spout programmed phrases. Instead, he asks for interaction, and he responds as if your child is responding to him. For example, when he will ask for a hug and then say “thank you” as if he’s received one, or he’ll say he’s ticklish and then will “respond” as if your child is tickling him. This makes an almost magical experience for your child, as if her toy is really coming to life.

The wide variety of things that Elmo Live! can do makes him a great toy to grow with your child. Younger children can engage in cause-and-effect play by simply pressing Elmo’s buttons to see what he does. Our two-year-old tester was especially delighted with the silly sounds Elmo makes when his nose is squeezed. Understandably, her attention meandered during the somewhat lengthy stories. However, an older child will have the attention span and comprehension skills to appreciate them, as well as the silly jokes that Elmo tells.

Tips on Playing with Elmo! Live
Elmo makes lots of fun movements and gestures — the only slight drawback is that his movements generate a somewhat loud, mechanical sound that sometimes interferes with being able to understand what Elmo is saying. He also has to be on a hard, flat surface — otherwise he has a tendency to fall over. This in itself has a fun effect, however. When he falls over, Elmo asks you to help him back up again, and when he’s put back upright, he’ll say “thank you.” Also, since his nose has to be squeezed with a bit of force to activate him, our two-year-old tester sometimes needed assistance with it.

Elmo Live! comes with 6 AA batteries. A Phillips screwdriver is required to replace them.

The hands even play a song, and come with an exclusive DVD that teaches your kids how to do the accompanying dance.

Elmo’s Tickle Hands Ages: 18 months to 4 years Requires: 2 “AA” batteries (included)

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: The Good: Soft, gentle gloves perfectly suited for tickling. The Challenging: Tickle sensor/vibrator is located only on one hand; somewhat limited use. In a Nutshell: An interactive toy for young children that will encourage them to move and dance.

These soft, furry mittens are ideal for tickling. View larger.

Soft and Comfortable Design
With these mittens on, your child can feel just like Elmo. The gloves are sized for children from two to four years of age, and are quite flexible. Crafted from polyester fabric and coated in a soft, fluffy, red “fur,” the gloves have a feathery texture, which makes them ideal for tickling. However, if they get dirty, do not throw them in the washing machine; the material is made for surface washing only.

When touched to a surface, the right glove gently vibrates. It also plays back a variety of phrases from Elmo, including his signature laugh. Buyers should be aware that only the right glove has these special electronic features; the left hand is simply a mitten. Still, the toy should succeed in providing hours of ticklish fun.

Tickling with a Groovy Twist
Elmo’s Tickle Hands also come with an exclusive DVD that features a dance lesson on how to perform Elmo’s brand new dance — the “Tickle Hand Groove.” This is a simple dance that children will be able to learn with ease.

The DVD is hosted by Elmo, himself, and has all the charm of any Sesame Street feature. Kids will find the accompanying song upbeat and danceable. The song can be played at any time by pressing the image of Elmo’s face on the right glove.

What’s in the Box
Two tickle hands and instructional dance DVD.

Kids will love learning how to do Elmo’s brand new dance — the “Tickle Hand Groove.”
