From cuddly plush pals and friendly learning companions to adorable mini figures and captivating infant and toddler toys, the playful portfolio of Sesame Street themed toys is sure to delight kids and parents alike.

LIVE

LIVE is a new interactive and immersive gaming platform designed to bring classic board games to life in unexpected and unique ways. The centerpiece of LIVE gaming, literally and figuratively, is Motion Vision Play technology, which brings games to life through an electronic tower in the middle of a specially designed game board. The first two games to come to life with spy planes, stock rallies and horse races are MONOPOLY LIVE and BATTLESHIP LIVE as the tower and board work together to react to hand and pawn movements as the game is played. No dice or bank notes are needed, as players wave their hands over various sensors on the board to direct all game play activity. Like video games, players do not need to read rules or instructions as the LIVE tower will guide play and remind players of rules along the way, as well as add unexpected twists. For example, a typhoon could suddenly occur in Battleship and change a ship's trajectory, or a sought after property could be put up for bid in a surprise auction in Monopoly.
