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!
What It Is
Light up the night with FyrFlyz, a new take on a classic yo-yo-like toy. (In that it features a plastic piece that's manipulated on a string. Hard to explain, but you get it the moment you see it.) Each precision balanced instrument is designed to spin on its axis. Simply by swinging the connected two strings and pulling to apply tension or letting go to allow slack, kids create a continuous movement—figure eights, rings, etc. Turn off the lights or take it out in the dark, and the multi-color LED lights turn the movement into a light show.
Spin FyrFlyz to create a wide array of tricks: turn them sideways to create slick sidewinders, pull tight to create whizzing black holes, or loosen the strings to make shooting stars or loop-de-loops. The more kids spin, the more unique their tricks may be. Kids can visit FyrFlyz.com to learn more tricks.
FyrFlyz are made using a uni-body shell with batteries; multi-color LED lights with soft, safety tips; an on/off switch; strings; and double-safety grip handles. FyrFlyz will be available in a variety of light colors, and there are three available at the launch.
Why It’s Fun
FyrFlyz look cool in action, but it's also really easy to make that action happen. It won't take kids long to learn how to work the strings and perform FyrFlyz tricks. Whether performing tricks from the FyrFlyz website or inventing their own tricks, kids will like creating their very own light shows with FyrFlyz.
Who It’s For
FyrFlyz are for ages 8 and up.
What to Be Aware of
The tricks last only a moment, but that's plenty of time to put on a show and keep kids engaged.
FyrFlyz will be available nationwide in September with limited distribution now. They require two button cell batteries, which are included.
