There’s always a hot new toy out for the holidays, and lately there has been a trend in “active” toys. The first one to really start the movement was when the first Wii came out. The ever-popular video game, that requires physical movement to make the game work, has become a staple in most households. This has been so popular in fact, parents bought into the Wii Fit and in some cases it is being used as a source of physical therapy.

I love the idea of getting kids off the couch and computer while still having fun. One of my favorites this season is the Elmo Tickle Hands! Have you heard about these? When a kid puts on a pair and presses Elmo’s nose, the mitts will vibrate and they will hear fun phrases from Elmo and o course that famous giggle. If you press the nose again—they can dance to the “Tickle Hand Groove.” The hands come with a DVD that teaches kids how to do the dance step by step. The video below is a demonstration of how it works.

Dancing is a great calorie burner and this can be a really fun thing for your kiddos to do with their friends! If you have a young one to buy for this holiday season, I would definitely buy something that will improve their health and appreciation for physical activity. This toy (and many others) can prove to your child that fitness is fun!
