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!
What It Is
We know that some kids already take their Hot Wheels cars into the bathtub. The Hot Wheels Sea Serpent Island playset provides a whole environment for water play that offers a fun way to play while kids get clean. The easily assembled unit has three floats that allow it to stay upright in water as well as a track that kids will enjoy sending their cars flying down and splashing into the tub. There's a small pump with a tube that feeds into the serpent's head (hence the name) at the top of the toy that squirts water by sucking up water from the tub. There are also other water features such as a starting gate cup that kids fill with water to lift the gate and send the included Hot Wheels car down the racetrack. A hidden lever in the track changes the direction of the car.
Why It’s Fun
Sea Serpent Island is an action-packed way to make bath time fun, especially for reluctant bathers. Kids will like the sea serpent water shooter and racing cars down its track. Because this is a floating playset, it could also be used in the pool.
Who It’s For
Sea Serpent Island is for ages 4 and up. Kids, especially boys, with an interest in cars and racing will like this.
What to Be Aware of
While this floats really well, kids will get the best results from the serpent squirter by stabilizing the unit with one hand while they activate the pump.
This playset is not for use with some Hot Wheels vehicles, according to the manufacturer.
