Elmo’s Tickle Hands are a pair of big, red, fluffy, four- fingered gloves that provide an extra pair of hands (sort of) to help little ones entertain themselves wherever they roam. One of the two gloves bears an Elmo face; pushing the nose activates a battery-powered mechanism that sets the glove vibrating and giggling as Elmo leads kids in the Tickle Hand Groove dance, then instructs them to “tickle someone.” An included DVD teaches the dance, step by step. The Tickle Hands make for a fun group activity, though probably not on a public conveyance or anywhere quiet is appreciated. Recommended for children ages 18 months to 4 years old.
