BEST TOY EVER!!!!
I have never been so impressed. Looked at Elmo in the shop but it doesnt do him justice. He laughs, tell stories and jokes, dances, stands up and sits down on his very own stool. My 18 month old daughter is facinated by him (I am too). BEST TOY EVER!!!
I just don't get it...
My 2yo daughter was bought one of these as an early Xmas present.
I just don't get the incredible overwhelmingly-positive reviews that this thing has received. I mean, I know elmo is somewhat more ingrained in to US culture than that in the UK but overall, the toy is a) expensive and b) of limited appeal. Specifically it's hard to understand what he's saying sometimes, there are a limited number of actions/speec programs and apart from pressing his stomach/foot/nose/back etc, I can't see how this is going to last beyond a few days.
I'm not into being the arbiter of my child's toys - but at £50+ I am seriously considering selling this and getting something more worthwhile (daughter hasn't yet got to play with in in earnest - yes, maybe she should be the judge but, seriously, I can't see a future). But in the meantime, I'm confused...
The reviews are so consistently good I'm either missing something or stuck in a cultural gap or there are a lot of Fisher PRice underlings out there puffing up this item.
Just do me one favour: play with one before you drop your cash. £50 is no tiny sum. And it buys a lot of books/puzzles/etc.
Yes, technologically impressive-ish (if you can ignore the sound of whirring motors that drive this toys movement). Will surely eat batteries, though. And hey, just not that much fun.
elmo rocks
I must say that I am not easily impressed but Elmo is absolutely the best toy ever I am 46 years of age and have to keep reminding myself that this little guy is not real.
