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!
You don't know what you are until you start asking questions.
In the Hedbanz game, each player wears a headband. Each headband holds a card, which is visible to everyone in the room... except the person wearing it. No one knows what his or her own card says, so they must figure out if the cartoon on their head is an animal (parrot, hippo, etc.), food (hamburger, orange), or man-made object (bicycle, scissors). Be the first player to guess what you are before time runs out to win. Hedbanz includes 74 cartoon cards, 24 scoring chips, six headbands, a timer, and a rule sheet. It is for two to six players.
This is the classic game of "What Am I?" meets 20 Questions, meets deductive reasoning that has been around for years, but it never stops being fun. The gameplay is fast and the rules are easy to learn, and it's different every time it's played, largely depending on the age, sophistication and personalities of the players. All of this makes it a great game for the whole family to play together.
