Yes, I’m overly excited by this toy - but who can blame me. Anyway, all I wanted to do was let you all know that Elmo Live is now in stock or available for preorder at several stores.

I don’t care if it isn’t Christmas for another 99 days (ish, who’s counting…) but I want Santa to bring me one of these! The latest incarnation of Sesame Street’s Elmo is as alive as you could make him. Elmo’s mouth opens and closes just like the ‘real’ muppet when he talks, and his mannerisms are…well I believe it’s the real Elmo in the video - but you tell me what you think.

He sits down, crosses his legs, tells stories and jokes, sings and even hugs you. Hopefully we’ll get one to review in the fuzzy flesh around the toy’s launch in October, but until then - if anyone’s got to play with one, let me know what you thought of it

The toys will be available from thetoyshop.com for £59.99 from mid October.

In the meantime - this is a video from the Fisher Price unveiling earlier this year:

One of the biggest tasks for a parent is keeping their kids active and trying to stop them from becoming zombies in front of the television. Fisher-price has realised this and as a result have developed the Fisherprice Smart Cycle. The smart cycle is a safe stationary bike that plugs straight into your television allowing kids to cycle their way through various learning games.

The games all vary depending on the age of your child and are designed to develop various skills including counting, spelling, problem-solving, creativity and motor skills.
