Editors’ Rankings
TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!

Assembly & Instructions
Woody, atop his horse Bullseye, is the electronic handheld tagger and his Toy Story co-stars, Buzz Lightyear, Jesse, Hamm, and Rex, are targets. Players listen for Woody to call out clues about different characters, then run to and tag the corresponding targets. There is a microchip embedded in the tagger that recognizes the targets. When Woody is placed over the correct character, the circuit is complete and players advance. If players tag an incorrect target, Woody will repeat the call-out and encourage them to try again. As the game progresses, the call-outs become more challenging. In early levels, Woody may call oe (R is for Rex). Once kids master nameut a name or the first letter of a nams and letters, the game adds in colors and character traits, such as "Who wears a white spacesuit?" and "Who is a yodeling cowgirl?"
The game can also be played at varying degrees of physical difficulty as the targets can be spread out across short or long distances and placed up high or down low. Farther targets at different heights result in more running, bending, reaching, and stretching-all great physical activities for kids!
In addition to the main game, Woody's Run-Around Roundup also features a sequence-building memory game, a hide-and-seek treasure hunt, and multi-player modes. Each game requires physical exertion that aids in the development of large and small muscle groups while improving coordination and motor skills. The sharing and listening aspects of the game reinforce positive social behaviors.
Woody's Run-Around Roundup is an ideal game not only for kids but also for the whole family to play together. Whether indoors or outdoors, played solo or in teams, this game exercises the bodies and minds of multiple generations!
