This toy was broken in less than a week. 2 year old son got it as a Christmas present and we already threw the box away. We are tryiing to find a number to get it replaced.

My sons loved it while it worked. But they kept dropping it (once the thing starts giggling it is hard to hold on to), so it lasted for maybe a day. then it was worthless. So we never got to the game part of it.

This is just great.
My preschooler plays hot potato at school.
I found this and it was loved by all!
We bought another for a gift for our cousin!

The kids love it, it is reasonably priced, the batteries last a long time, and it is durable!

Our 4-year-old twin nieces absolutely love this game. It's most fun with 3 or more people. You turn on the giggles by pushing Elmo's nose, and then start tossing it to each other. The person who is holding it when it stops giggling "loses". Theoretically at that point the loser would leave the game, and play would continue until only one person hasn't lost, like musical chairs. But with our girls, we just started over with the same crowd. They were absolutely riveted. I think they'd have played it till bedtime if we'd let them.

The game helps youngsters with their motor skills (tossing, catching) and also with learning to tolerate losing. If you have a child who cannot bear to lose, this probably isn't a good game for you. Everybody loses at some point in this game! We just said, "Ohhhh" sympathetically and then started right back in. Worked for us.

The game includes a set of cards for older kids. When you start the game you choose a card, which has items of one color on them. I think the rule is you have to name an item similar to the ones on the card before you can get rid of Elmo.

Two thumbs up from us. We're planning to buy two more for our other nieces!
