Having a twin son and daughter makes gift giving time difficult. They’re both four years old, and they like such different things. My son loves trucks and building things, while my daughter is more into tea parties and Barbies. Whenever a gift giving time rolls around, I never know what to give. I like giving them a large gift to share, because it promotes friendship and sharing between the two of them, but it’s no fair asking my son to play Barbies or asking my daughter to spend an hour building with blocks when those are things that they simply don’t enjoy doing.
I saw the Elmo Live commercial and was intrigued. Both of my kids liked Elmo, but was it something that they’d both play with? I logged on and read a couple of Elmo Live reviews. When their birthday arrived, I decided to buy this toy for the both of them to share. They immediately fell in love with Elmo all over again. They both sat, enraptured, watching Elmo move around and listening as he told them a story. My daughter, Emily, grabbed some of her books to read to Elmo, while my son began building towers to show Elmo. He must have been their guest of honor for at least an hour or more before I finally had to call it quits.
The Elmo Live reviews are all right on the button when they say that it’s not a doll, it’s an experience. After all, how many toys not only tell your children stories, but get them singing and jumping up and down and around the room? This doll does! We’re discussing getting another one, simply because both of the kids love it so much that they want to use it all of the time!
