Review: Sesame Street Workshop Elmo Check Up Time Plush Toy Playset

I've liked Elmo since I was a wee one. I never imagined him still being popular amongst the kiddies this day and age though. Elmo though, still has his groove, and young kids still adore the red... um... friendly monster, puppet, thing?

My cousins 2 year old is in love with Elmo, just like every other 2 year old...she has just about everything that has ever been invented regarding Elmo. Elmo this, Elmo that... Elmo is everywhere, and it looks like her bedroom had puked up Elmo dolls all over the place.

She loves her Elmo's, but I guess at times shes a bit forgetful, because she ended up leaving her Elmo Check Up Time Plush Play set behind the last time they were over.

I knew she would be sad about leaving it behind, but I also took it as an opportunity to have a little one on one time with this doll in order to write a review on it.

Appearance:

It's cute. Very cute actually. The Elmo doll is soft plush, but it is not cuddly soft, due to the large battery bottom pack that you can feel inside of the doll.

The Elmo Check Up Plush comes wearing a pair of light brown khakis, and a white Tee with a picture of some orange fuzzy character that looks like a moldy gingerbread man.

On Elmo's foot their is also a sewn in blue band aid that can be removed lifted to check underneath. It works like a door, you can open it, but not remove it because it is sewn in on one side.

The Elmo Check Up plush also comes with a plastic stethoscope, a thermometer, and a tissue.

I imagine the reason this particular plush was made, was to help little kids get over that fear of going to the doctor. The doll repeatedly says, that was easy, or All better!

Your child plays the roll of the doctor, and Elmo is the patient. I'm not sure what his ailment is besides the runny nose and the band aid, because each and every time he asks you to take his temperature he is never sick. 'Not to high, not to low, just right!'

While playing with the doll, I came to realize the plastic accessories are nothing more than tools that will eventually get lost outside. That is okay though, because the doll still works even without them. Your child can use their finger to activate Elmo.
