Elmo and Cookie Monster - together again.

This toy is cute. When you push Elmo's mouth, he says "Jiggly, Giggly! Ha ha ha ha!" as the ball vibrates. Push Cookie Monster's mouth, and he says "Shaky, Shaky! Ha ha ha ha! Whooooa!" If you pay too much attention to Elmo (press him 3 times in a row) Cookie says "Hello?" Likewise, if you press Cookie 3 times in a row, Elmo says, "Elmo's turn!" Push the two together and they say "Giggle Monsters!" and laugh.

This toy is not very soft (it's not plush) and the inner mechanics make it heavier than you would expect. The eyes and Elmo's nose make it pretty useless for rolling. But the sounds and vibrations make my twin 20-month old boys smile, and they play with it on occasion, but it doesn't keep them occupied for long stretches. As for durability, it appears well-made, but I don't think ours has been used enough to really put it to the test.

Overall, it's cute, but I think I like it more than the boys do.

My daughter received this for her first birthday. It's really cute and she likes the vibrating, but truthfully I've probably played with it more than she has. The switches are tiny and have to be pressed with a moderate amount of pressure. My daughter hasn't been able to indpendently make it work. She wants to be independent and isn't really interested in hand over hand help so this toys gets limited play time.

My 18 month-old son received this as a Christmas gift. I don't know why this is marketed for children 18 months and older. It is heavy and is like carrying around a small cloth-covered bowling ball. It is so difficult to push the ball in order to get it to vibrate and make sounds. If I can hardly get it to respond, how can an 18 month-old child? Occasionally, it will just vibrate non-stop and won't do anything else. The giggling and vibrations are entertaining--but only for so long. I cannot recommend this toy to anyone...

My 16 month old son loves this toy. It has logged many hours in the car and has even flown across the country with us. We don't leave home without it! He loves to press the button to hear Elmo and Cookie talk and also enjoys the vibration greatly. At a playdate with all one year olds, they swarmed together to play with it. The only bad part is that the Cookie side stopped working and I had to buy a second one. Now he plays with both of them!!

The Elmo and Cookie Monster Giggle Ball is great!!! It is a fun way to introduce my baby son to two Sesame Street characters. The voices and laughter are so much fun and the way the ball vibrates / wiggles after Cookie Monster, Elmo or both of them laugh is fun. My little guy is trying to figure out how to activate the voices / giggles and wiggles. I have always liked Sesame Street so I am having fun with it also!

My 14 month old nephew does like the toy for a VERY short time. It does make him smile. He tries to push the button, but can't yet. The giggling/vibrating time is too short. Be aware that it is NOT a soft toy nor a ball. If thrown at, it could hurt a child.

My grandchildren may be too young, 12 months and 15 months, but they find this toy boring. I have to push it down for them to giggle and that's about the gist of it. Besides some giggles and vibrating for about 10 seconds, there is not much more to this toy. Save your money.
