 Lots of fun, but doesn't stand up to older, curious kids. Nov 02, 2003
By A. Ohl
Our 24-mo son really enjoys Hokey Pokey Elmo. Within minutes, he was trying to do the Hokey Pokey (have the camera or videocam handy) and the dog was doing some strange dance around the two of them. Unfortunately, Hokey Pokey Elmo doesn't stand up well to curious toddlers and 7-yr olds. If you have kids in the family who like to bend things to see how they work, then either 1. don't buy this toy, or 2. be prepared to buy another Elmo after the first one breaks. I was surprised at just how fragile Elmo's internal pieces are. The exterior material held up well and Elmo still sings, but after having his leg bent once and arm bent once, his Hokey Pokey days are over. We're choosing option two (buy another).

Daughter's favorite toy Nov 10, 2003
My daughter received Hockey Pockey Elmo as a gift when she was 8 months old. She learned to dance with this toy, she loves it.
She even learned to turn around and imitate the moves, and she's only 11 months now.
This Elmo takes a lot of abuse from my daughter and I am amazed it works as well as the first day.
I absolutely recommend this toy, is a LOT OF FUN!

Our first and won't be our last Elmo Jan 11, 2004
By Amy Armstrong
Hello,
I bought this Elmo for my 10 month baby girl Maddie, and I think in her opinion, it's the best Christmas present under the tree! Even, I love it!I have to say though that he does do the whole Hokey Pokey song. Elmo puts one arm in, and out and "shakes it all about", and then he spins around, and then he does the same with the leg. I think that is all that is needed. If he did the song with both legs, and both arms, it would be a little too much. Besides, it doesn't matter to the ones that its important to - our kids. When Elmo was unwrapped on Christmas morning, Maddie just loves him from the start. Everyone in the family loves how he danced, and turned around - even on the carpet! The best part was when he falls, he says "Can you help Elmo up please? Thank you.". The entire family couldn't get enough of this. He was passed around the big kids (Maddie's uncles) who kept knocking him over just to hear him say that phrase. Two weeks later, he is still in perfect condition. We keep Elmo on Maddie's dresser, and she can clearly see him from her crib. I think that this toy has helped her learn how to point. When I go to her in her crib, she just looks, at him, and points, and so of course, we go see him. She claps her hands, and smiles. I have to agree with Maddie, this was the best Christmas present that I could have gotten for her!

My son absolutely loves this toy. It is so cute, and polite! When he tips over, he asks to help him up PLEASE, and then says THANK YOU when you do!

You can do it too! Oct 27, 2005

The Hokey Pokey is such a fun and silly game that young and old can play along while ELMO teaches all the right moves & sings the song. You and your youngster will laugh aloud as you put your hand and foot in and SHAKE IT ALL ABOUT. If Elmo accidentally tips over, he says OOPS and when you pick him up he will THANK YOU!. Teaches coordination, left from right, and following simple directions. Lots of fun! Of all the themed Elmos out there, like Chicken Dance, Potty, etc., I think this one does the most to instruct your child while having fun too.
