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
LEGO Creator has introduced a collection of three-in-one building sets. The latest addition to the line is Lighthouse Island, a 518-piece model. With this set, kids can build a seafood restaurant, a boathouse, or a classic lighthouse. When kids build the lighthouse, they can press the roof to activate the special light brick and rotate the crank on the back to turn the reflector and cast light 360 degrees, just like a real lighthouse. When kids build the seafood restaurant, they can use the light brick to make the oven light up. Open the back of the lighthouse to access the stove and ladder. The set includes a minifigure, jetty with motorboat, the LEGO light brick, binoculars, stove, ladder, grill, two buildable seagulls, and two fish.
Why It’s Fun
As with all the LEGO Creator models, the detail and imagination that's gone into this set is really impressive, including the seagulls, boats, and the lighthouse that actually opens up. On the lighthouse model, the light brick and the crank on the back that turns the reflector is a relatively simple innovation, but it adds a great deal of imaginative magic to the set.
Who It’s For
Lighthouse Island is for ages 8—12.
What to Be Aware of
You can only build one model at a time. If you build the restaurant and then want to build the lighthouse, you'll have to disassemble the restaurant.
This model took us a couple of hours to assemble, but like the kids, we were really impressed with the results.
The light brick takes two button-cell batteries, which are included.
