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
Are you curious to know what happens in your room or any location when you're not around? With the Spy Gear Capture Cam, you can catch suspects in the act—of whatever they're doing. The Capture Cam is a real, working digital camera that you can set up to cover any area you want to spy on. Then, when the camera detects movement, it takes a picture. You can set it to take one, two, or three pictures after each movement. To see the pictures, connect the camera to a computer (Mac or PC) using the included USB cable. Using the Spy Photo Lab software that can be downloaded to your computer, edit and add special effects to your pictures. The camera holds 30 images.
Why It’s Fun
The Capture Cam is a great toy because it's a working camera. Kids will like being able to sneakily take pictures to see if a younger sibling or mom is messing with their stuff. Uploading the pictures is easy, and it's a lot of fun to add the different effects to the photos. As with all the toys in the Spy Gear line, the Capture Cam is a great roleplay item that lets kids have their own spy adventures.
Who It’s For
The Spy Gear Capture Cam is for ages 8 and up.
What to Be Aware of
There is no viewing screen on this camera, but that's part of what makes it possible to sell a working digital camera at such a reasonable price. In order to see the pictures you have to upload them to your computer, so this does not replace a regular camera for kids who want to take traditional, non-spy photos.
The Capture Cam requires two AA batteries, which are not included.
