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
Angelina Ballerina is the mouse that loves to dance and now fans of Angelina can dance along with her. Angelina Ballerina: Dance with Me features easy gameplay and elements that gets kids up and moving—in this case, dancing. Players take turns adding a dance move to the sequence. There are many chances for kids to practice the moves along the way. They collect star cards and trophies for completing a move. The goal is to be able to perform the entire sequence of six (at most) moves from memory. When a player lands on the final space that says "It's Showtime," she stands up and tries to perform the moves in sequence from memory. The player with the most star cards at the end wins.
The game is for two or more players. It comes with a game board, 25 dance cards, 50 reward cards, a music CD, a game mover with base, a spinner, and an instruction manual.
Why It’s Fun
Fans of Angelina Ballerina love to dance, and this game gives them the chance to dance with Angelina. There are a lot of great details in the game, such as the two-sided game board with one side designed as the stage and the other side as the backstage area. The dance cards have the French names of the moves on them along with an English phonetic pronunciation key so that girls, especially those new to dance, are introduced to dance terminology, such as "arabesque".
Who It’s For
Angelina Ballerina: Dance with Me is for ages 3 and up. It's great for little girls who are just getting into dancing and Angelina Ballerina fans.
What to Be Aware of
Through playing and dancing in this game, girls practice essential skills, such as looking at a picture and replicating a pose, remembering moves in sequence, and gaining self-confidence to perform.
