Sesame Street Steals the Show for Hasbro at Toy Fair 2011!
Today I had one of the most memorable experiences of my life attending the Hasbro Showroom for Toy Fair 2011. This was one of those days where I felt like Oprah, having an “Ah-Ha” moment as I sat in the audience of the Times Center. This year, Hasbro has partnered with Sesame Street to launch a whole new array of infant, toddler and preschool toys. I will not lie when I tell you I sat on the edge of my chair watching the real Cookie Monster and Elmo engage the CEO’s of both Hasbro and Sesame Workshop in a sing-a-long. After the show we took a tour of the Hasbro showroom and these were some of the amazing products I think will be the greatest Hasbro hits of 2011!
Let’s Rock Elmo
Elmo sings a variety of songs along with you, recognizing and asking for different musical instruments!
You can purchase additional instruments like a guitar and a keyboard so your child can jam along with Elmo!
Kre-O Bumblebee
