Sesame Street Elmo 18-Inch Giggle Max Interactive Plush Toy — Touch-Activated, Laughs & Shakes

Tickle Me Elmo Giggle Max is an 18-inch interactive Sesame Street plush that giggles, shakes, and speaks when you tickle his belly or feet for big, shared laughs.

This updated take on a classic toy delivers larger-than-life play and cuddle time. Designed with super-soft bright red plush and built-in laugh-and-shake motion, Giggle Max reacts to touch with vocal phrases, arm movement, and a full-body wiggle.
