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
Toy State's line of CAT-branded, value-priced vehicles and playsets allow kids to have all kinds of great construction-themed play—a classic boys play pattern. The CAT Motorized Job Site Machine Excavator is a toy construction vehicle for preschoolers. Kids can make the Excavator go forward or backward with the push of a button. The Excavator also lights up and has different sounds, including phrases ("Back it up!") and music. The claw is motorized for real digging and lifting action.
Why It’s Fun
With its motorized claw and realistic sounds, the Excavator is an ideal toy for outdoor play, such as in a sandbox, but kids can play with it indoors, too, and try to pick up toys and other small objects from the floor. There's a lot of potential for creative, open-ended play with this construction vehicle.
Who It’s For
The Excavator is for ages 3 and up.
What to Be Aware of
This toy is fairly loud compared to other toys designed for children at this age. Make sure your child doesn't have his ear right up to the toy during play. For quiet play, there is a mute button.
Three AA batteries are included.
