An Elmo Playdate | Elle Olive & Co.

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Hasbro and Playskool. I received product samples and a party stipend to facilitate my review, as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. #PlayAllDayElmo

We have had a few of the Elmo dolls and have always loved them for the fun, imaginative play that they offer. So, when I heard about Play All Day Elmo, we were interested. To find out that it was one of the most playful Elmo toys to date, I knew ny kids would love. This perfect buddy for kids can accompany them and teach them about having fun – and having fun together.

So what better excuse than to get my daughter and her friends together to try out this perfect buddy! They could not put Elmo down – they were so engaged with him!

We decided to combine the fall weather with a fun outdoor fall party – complete with the fire pit, leaves and, of course, some great parting gifts for our guests.

For snacks, I went with a subtle Elmo theme – by just adding lots of pops of red colors. A red popcorn holder, strawberry milk, strawberry yogurt, fresh strawberries, cheese and crackers. With little kids, remember to keep food at play-dates and parties simple. There’s no need to go crazy – kids like simple!

The kids loved the little touches, like fun straws, and strawberries on a stick.

Every one was excited to take home some other amazing toys – and everyone left wanting Play All Day Elmo!

Best of all, we welcomed in the season with some crisp, autumn weather – outdoor play – and friends. Nothing better than that.

More about ‘Play All Day Elmo’:

This favorite pal features 150+ responses and eight games and activities! In toddler mode, young children will learn and have fun with basic cause & effect play, like tickling Elmo or squeezing his nose. In preschool mode, Elmo takes the fun to another level with games and activities. Games include Hop and Count, Pat-a-Cake, Freeze Dance, Animal Sounds, Elmo Says, Red Light Green Light and Color Guessing. So much fun – and all with an engaging and learning theme!

The built in sensors allow him to respond to different activites in fun ways! For example, he reacts when he’s in the air, when he’s upside down and when he’s moving. When playtime is done, your child can cuddle with him and listen to a lullabye – which he’ll start when you squeeze his nose! It’s the best combination of a totally fun toy and a cuddly doll. When your child is ready to play again, take Elmo off “nap” mode and he’ll be ready for more fun! You can find Play All Day Elmo at most major toy retailers nationwide and at HasbroToyShop.com

We were so excited to share Play With Me Elmo with friends – but even more excited to have two more excited toys to share and send home with them:

From the My Little Pony Friends brand, we were able to try out the PLAYSKOOL Friends MY LITTLE PONY MUSICAL CELEBRATION CASTLE (Ages 18 months & up). This toy is super fun, you can place Pinkie Pie and Starsong figures inside this whimsical castle then push the tower down for a musical ride. There’s an elevator, slide and open and shut gate. So much fun!

We also had the chance to check, from the Playskool Heroes Jurassic World brand the JURASSIC WORLD TYRANNOSAURUS REX.

This toy is the ultimate dinosaur for preschool Jurassic World fans to track and capture. It features light-up eyes and a roaring action! It includes a human figure and capture cuff. My son was captivated by this toy – playing for hours! Ages 3 years and up!
