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
Tosy's AFO: Aliens Flying Object is an innovative mash-up of a classic flying ring and a boomerang that, even though it's very simple, delivers tons of can't-put-it-down fun. To launch the AFO, snap the simple plastic disc onto the hand launcher. Pull back on the string and let go. The AFO can travel up to 100 feet in the air thanks to its flexible thin blades. LED lights automatically turn on when the AFO is flying, creating a colorful light show perfect for nighttime play. When the AFO hits the apex of its arc in the air, the AFO turns around and returns to wherever it was launched.
There are many different ways to play with the AFO, including indoors. The AFO can be launched to cling to walls, floors, and ceilings. Just follow the instructions on the back of the package.
Why It’s Fun
It's fun to watch the AFO go higher and higher in the sky and then return right back to you. Because there are so many different ways to play with the AFO, there's a lot of play value. Kids can play inside or outside, day or night. The LED lights look really cool in the dark!
Who It’s For
The AFO is for ages 5 and up.
What to Be Aware of
For best results, once you pull the string, don't stop halfway. Don't touch the string with your hand during the pullback process. Also, don't aim the AFO at yourself or other people.
