Sneak up on your child with this vibrating, red furry glove, and you're sure to get some laughs, if he or she doesn't dash out of the room. Priced at $30 for the pair (only one vibrates and talks), Elmo Tickle Hands reacts to touch with laughs, sound effects, Elmo jokes and a buzzing vibration. A second mode can recognize movements and guide kids through Elmo’s dance, step by step.Available in August, the gloves fit either children or adults, and come packaged with a DVD designed to help children learn Elmo’s new dance. The gloves are powered by two AA batteries. Fisher-Price also released Elmo Live Encore, a robotic plush toy which can sing three classic Sesame Street songs, including “Sunny Days,” “Somebody Come and Play” and “Elmo’s World.” Requires 6 AA batteries. Coming in October.
