I would love if I could build my own Sesame Street
DRAGonvale I love That app?

You know, with all of the cast. Make sure it’s a free game. Also for the ability to befriend other players and see their very own Sesame Street.

Fantastic and with a holiday theme!
Greedo1000

This really works well for the ipad, where kids can scrawl all over the place and not worry about being super exact. The visuals are really nice and elmo's interaction with the various monsters is really cute! My nephew's going to love it!

Not working
Frustated elmo

It's freezing and not working

Cute App!
PeggyKate

I bought this to amuse my 2 year old grandson and he loves it. He loves to change the eyes and noses of the different monsters and then play the songs. It is a very cute game that is well worth the cost of the app.

Great app for kids
Momofaboy

I really love this app and more importantly so does my son. It's fun to play with though you quickly get through all the options of monster-choosing, feature-choosing, activity-choosing (but kids wouldn't). My only question is why does every picture I take of a monster include the hanukkah backdrop? How can I choose a non-denominational background?

Fun but I prefer the "Furry Friend" app
Soothe

The app is ok but repetitive after a while. Another app, Furry Friend, is more interactive and the puppet really feels alive.

Buggy!

Have yet to open it withoutbit automatically closing 30 seconds in!

Not worth the money
Nooshshea

I downloaded this thinking that it would have been upgraded to be optimized for iPad. Instead, all that is differnent from the free version is 1. The button to reduce is gone 2. Each monster has (the same) two new hats, eyes. Also, it's not listed, but this is holiday themed. The new eyes, for example, are candy canes or stars, and there is a constant snow fall in the background. So useless. Bummer to have downloaded it in mid January where my holiday overload is at its peak. Hopefully the next upgrade will remove all this!

Greedy Little Elmo

Great app, not as educational as the rest of the IDEO/Sesame Street apps but my 2 1/2 yr old loves it. What upsets me is that having already purchased the iPhone version it would have been nice for the developers to create a universal app update instead of charging $3.99. Looks like I'm going to have to end up paying AGAIN for those as well when they get released. The upscaled versions look awfully mushy on the iPad. Also, any plan on returning to the non-holiday themed version anytime soon? It's almost February now.
