Fisher-Price Elmo Live from Sesame Street

   Sesame Steet Live Elmo

Fisher-Price Elmo Live is by far going to be the hottest toy this holiday season. But what does this toy do that makes it so wonderful, and spectacular? Besides Sesame Street Elmo Live being the cutest thing you’ve ever seen, it also sings and dances to songs that you pre-set. Elmo also reads stories to the young ones, but will be a very popular toy for all ages, including adults.

Is it live or is it Elmo Live? For the first time ever, in this truly life-like creation, Fisher-Price Elmo Live really appears to be speaking as his mouth opens and closes just like a muppet. His mannerisms are right on target and his head bobbles back and forth as he speaks. Elmo waves his arms, sits and stands, and even crosses his legs while telling stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games. Children can activate the magic with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmo's foot, tummy, back or nose. Requires 6 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 12" tall.

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. Thanks for viewing the Sesame Street Elmo Live Videos.

We found Fisher-Price Elmo Live 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, Fisher Price 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.
