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
Manhattan Toy's Parents magazine line is a collection of developmental toys with contemporary styling that gives children a rich array of visual and tactile stimulation and offers elements designed to encourage musical interest, stimulate imaginations, and inspire roleplay.
The Fun with Food! ABC Blocks are high-quality, classic wooden blocks with bold graphics and colorful illustrations. On each block is a letter of the alphabet along with a corresponding food image. The A block has a picture of an apple on it. The L block has a picture of a lemon. There are 26 blocks total, one for each letter of the alphabet. When playtime is over, store the blocks inside the canvas bag that closes with a Velcro fastener. This block set is designed to promote unstructured play (sorting, stacking, lining up, and knocking down blocks), which fuels a child's creativity and problem-solving skills.
Why It’s Fun
Fun with Food! ABC Blocks are a colorful take on a classic play pattern. This block set is all about basic building and it capitalizes on kids' interest in food to help support letter awareness. The pictures and graphics will definitely appeal to children. The canvas bag makes this block set great for taking on the go.
Who It’s For
Fun with Food! ABC Blocks are for ages 12 months and up.
What to Be Aware of
Each 1.5-inch block is sized just right for small hands.
One year olds are probably not going to be able to figure out the letters and food on their own. This is where parents come in. Use these blocks to play with your child and point out the different letters and what sound they make, and what the different foods are.
