Holiday Toys for Ages 4 and Under

Elmo Live
Elmo Live makes it seem like you have the real Elmo from Sesame Street right in your living room! His head moves back and forth and his mouth opens and closes so it seems as if he is really speaking. Elmo can wave his arms, sit and stand, even crosses his legs, all the while telling stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games. With a tickle or a squeeze of Elmo's foot, tummy, back or nose, Elmo does something new. Our favorite- when Elmo says he loves you and blows a kiss.
