There is a new Elmo hitting the market to replace the wildly popular Tickle me Elmo by Tyco. Play All Day Elmo by Playskool is a toy that kids can literally spend hours being entertained by. This is good news for many parents that wish their child had a sibling closer to his or her age who enjoys many of the same age appropriate activities.
Play All Day Elmo is great for toddlers to preschoolers, and has two modes of play that correspond to each. The toddlers can enjoy over 150 reactions from the Elmo doll when he is set to toddler mode. This means when Elmo is kissed, he may give a little kiss noise back, or when his nose is bopped, Elmo may giggle or honk. Toddlers will enjoy the variety of reactions from Elmo, and to them, they may feel as though they have made a real friend.
When the Play All Day Elmo doll is set to preschool mode, he will play 8 games and activities with the child. It may be hard to imagine that a toy can actually play any sort of game with a child, but built in sensors can detect if the child is actually playing the game properly. For example, when kids hold their Elmo dolls and engage in a round of red light, green light, the Elmo will joke with the participants “you’re still moving!” if they continue to run on a red light.
The other games Elmo plays include pat-a-cake, freeze dance, animal sounds, Elmo says, color guessing, and what’s up in the sky. Parents may need to teach their preschoolers to first play these games, but once the children gains mastery, this will be a fun way for them to burn some energy running around the room a bit or sitting quietly playing pat-a-cake with the doll.
Another excellent feature of the Play All Day Elmo doll is its affordability. At roughly $59.95 US dollars in many popular retail stores, the product delivers amazing value. This is not just a cute doll that will be put on the shelf after little ones tire of the standard features, rather a beloved keepsake that gives real time entertainment value.
The Play All Day Elmo doll will likely be the one that the children start asking for as the day ends. Not only is he plush and cuddly, but Elmo is also the perfect bed-time companion. When it is time to go to bed, parents can set Elmo in lullaby mode. Then their children can be sung to sleep with lullabies at the touch of Elmo’s nose. Elmo plays two lullabies, each signaled by a single or double touch to the nose.
This product is already sold out in many popular stores. Given what a craze cute interactive Elmo dolls were in the past, this is not surprising. The Play All Day Elmo has a lot of entertainment value that adults as well as little ones can appreciate, and this doll is sure to be a treasured keepsake for the family.
