This toy is recommended for ages 18 months plus. Big Hugs Elmo loves to give hugs! He says over 50 phrases and sings 4 songs. Activate these phrases by squeezing either hand or his left foot. He wants to pretend with you to be a frog, horse, astronaut, and a bunny. When you participate and make Elmo fly like an astronaut or klip klop like a horse he responds with matching phrases. Elmo also loves to dance!\r

If you give Elmo a big hug he ually wraps his arms around you and gives you a big hug back. Elmo gets sleepy too and wants to cuddle. Lay him flat and Elmo sings a lullaby and falls asleep. And of course Elmo snores and says goodnight friend\r
