Elmo Calls

About

Elmo Calls is a free iOS app for kids that turns learning into playful interactions with Sesame Street's favorite red monster. Kids can answer video or audio calls from Elmo, send him texts, or let him dial them. Each call focuses on everyday themes like the alphabet, potty training, or feeling proud. A live video preview lets them see themselves onscreen while chatting. Parents can schedule calls for specific moments like bath time or doctor visits, with optional paid packs expanding the content. The app stands out for its simple, distraction-free design that pairs educational content with Elmo’s signature energy. The starter Sunny Day Sampler offers 13 calls, while 11 additional packs cover topics from ABCs to holidays. A free "Playdate with Elmo" pack adds sing-alongs and pretend play. Push notifications keep the calls coming on schedule. With no ads and parental controls, it’s a tool parents trust for guided screen time.
