Elmo tells stories, makes jokes, plays games and singsê.but with a twist! He comes to life waving his hands, moving his head and legs, sitting up and down on his stool and actually moving his mouth in sync when he speaks. Children can activate the magic with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmo's foot, tummy, back or nose. Requires 6 x AA batteries and 3 x button cell batteries (included). Age from 18 months.
