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!
Put the bite back into preschool skill and action games with Shark Attack! First introduced by Milton Bradley in 1988, Shark Attack! is back with the same motorized action and nonstop play of the original.
In this game, players are fish being chased by a "ferocious" shark. Roll the dice and race around the board hoping to get away. If you don't move fast enough, the motorized shark will gobble you up! The last fish swimming is the winner. The game, for two to four players, includes a motorized shark with rotation arm and parts, the game board, four fish pawns, two dice, and rules. It requires two AA batteries, which are not included.
Parents may remember playing this game when they were kids, and now they can share the fun with their own kids. What's great about this re-released Shark Attack! is that the game still has the same look as it did in 1988. The game is fast-paced, which is great for kids, and they'll want to play it again and again. Each round takes at best only a couple of minutes, and is full of plenty of excitement and interaction among the kids so it's great for repeat play. Kids know the shark is always going to "win" in the end, but there's something silly and exciting about trying to stay out of his jaws for as long as possible. The game is easy to assemble and packs up quickly.
