The little Elmo fans will love you forever when you present them this toy for Christmas as the interactive Elmo Live! is a real delight.

Everyone’s favorite Sesame Street Character Elmo now comes straight into your house to tell his jokes, sing, talk and do a lot more of fun stuff. The Elmo Live toy has a wide range of actions he can perform, which will keep children occupied through the different stages of their development. This toy is recommended for children 18 months and older.

Elmo Live! features very complex actions that range from gesturing with his arms and moving his legs to moving his head and mouth while talking, joking and singing. He even comes with little stool he will sit on and even cross his legs!

Elmo is very easy to play with. He has different buttons to press to get him going with a desired action. When you squeeze his nose he will start to make a variety of silly sounds. When you squeeze his hand he will start to dance. Pressing his foot will make him sitting down on his stool and telling a story – while doing this he gesture to act out parts of his story. Elmo Live can ask for a hug, blow a kiss and tell you that he loves you. He can tell jokes, act ticklish and much more…

When your child is done playing with him, just lay him on his back. He will start yawning and saying he is tired. This will shut him down and put him into a battery save mode. To reactivate him, just press one of his buttons to get him going again.

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.

Elmo Live! comes with 6 AA batteries.
