He's on his toothbrush and diapers but I never pointed it it until he recently became obsessed with saying "memo? Memo?" For Elmo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624928 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:18:04 +0000 beachbee 1624928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's his big eyes and high pitched voice!! LO is also obsessed, even though she doesn't watch him on TV or videos she can spot him anywhere and freaks out when she sees him. We do listen to a sesame street CD and she loves her some La La La La... then we put different family members names and she squeals :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624923 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:16:46 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1624923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it's definitely the voice. I think kids also gravitate towards bright colors like red </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624878 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:05:44 +0000 MamaJ 1624878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know but I can't stand Elmo. Actually DS isn't that interested in him. Thank goodness. He has a few Elmo books and always calls him a cat. Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624857 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:58:00 +0000 looch 1624857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: yes, agreed! I think it's the voice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624851 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:57:22 +0000 mrsjazz 1624851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure there must have been some research into what would most attract toddlers and babies. His voice, his color, talking about himself in 3rd person. LO watches Sesame Street but wants to fast forward and just watch the parts with Elmo. He is a drug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624838 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:54:06 +0000 fancyfunction 1624838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know either! I think M first discovered him in a book so now we'll watch Elmo on Sesame Street and whenever she sees him - on TV, in a book, in a store, she goes totally crazy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624759 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:36:01 +0000 Beyond2 1624759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what it is, but I am fully sheltering DS from him, just because I can't stand Elmo lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624754 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:34:43 +0000 dagret 1624754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure but L is 15 months and loooooovvvveeeesssss Elmo! His latest thing is singing "La la la la, Elmo!!!"</p> <p>ETA: At least it's not Caillou??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624609 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:54:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1624609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have noooo idea. I always found him slightly annoying and never planned to introduce him to J. Well he found out about him anyway while I let him play with my phone, found youtube videos and elmo episodes on his pbs kids app. Now he's obsessed. If he sees anything elmo at the store he immediately shouts, "Elmoooo!!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624607 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:53:39 +0000 Lindsay05 1624607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its got to be that voice. Ohhh that voice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624602 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:52:31 +0000 autumnlove 1624602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure but my LO was a fan ever before watching Sesame Street or videos! Elmo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624601 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:52:09 +0000 plantains 1624601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know but I think the voice has a lot to do with it. DD loooooved Elmo the minute she laid eyes on him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624599 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:50:46 +0000 Cherrybee 1624599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It must be a combo of the voice and the red colour because the only time E has ever seen Elmo she went wild, smiling and laughing and squeeling. She was about 6 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624594 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:49:17 +0000 babynumber1 1624594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I don't get it either. LO came home from daycare one day wanting to watch Elmo. I know that her daycare doesn't watch tv. I think her little friends told her all about him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624593 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:48:56 +0000 MsLipGloss 1624593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea! But my LO sure does adore Elmo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-it-about-elmo#post-1624588 Fri, 09 May 2014 12:47:52 +0000 mediagirl 1624588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why do kids love him so? Is it the easy to say name? Is it his bright red color? Is it his voice? </p>
