Elmo's Tickle Hands

Elmo's Tickle Hands is a 2009 Sesame Street toy produced by Fisher-Price.
When the person wearing the fuzzy red gloves touches a surface, the gloves vibrate and Elmo giggles. When Elmo's nose is pressed, he sings the "Tickle Hands Groove", a new song. The toy is packaged with a DVD that teaches how to do the Tickle Hands Groove dance.
The toy retailed for $29.99, the same price as the original Tickle Me Elmo and ten dollars less than the TMX doll. Fisher-Price marketing director Vince Smart told Brandweek that "the lower price point wasn't a direct result of the recession, but rather the by-product of a perceived ceiling on the doll's upward development. 'We had taken the innovation about as far as we could go,' he said."Wasserman, Todd. "Facebook App Ushers in New Elmo Toy", Brandweek. July 30, 2009.
As a promotion for the toy, Fisher-Price and Sesame Workshop set up a Facebook app in July 2009. Facebook users could send a "Ticklegram" to their friends, which showed a ten-second video of the product, and played Elmo sound clips.
