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
Barbie Designable Hair Extensions are the newest way to play with Barbie's hair. Girls can personalize hair extensions and print them out using any inkjet color printer. The kit comes with 16 customizable hair extensions, a Barbie doll, and six barrette clips. The process starts online at www.barbie.com/designablehair. Add patterns, colors, or icons by dragging them onto the hair extensions that you see on your computer screen. When you've finished your design, send it to the printer. Print out a test sheet so you can see how it looks. Then print onto the hair. Let the hair extensions dry for a few minutes before adding them to clips and putting them on Barbie or in your own hair.
Why It’s Fun
Girls love playing with Barbie's hair. It's one of the classic ways girls have played with Barbie for years. The Barbie Designable Hair Extensions add a whole new level of creativity to that play.
Who It’s For
Barbie Designable Hair Extensions are for ages 6 and up.
What to Be Aware of
The only printers that work with Barbie Designable Hair Extensions are color inkjet printers. Follow the directions for how to load the hair extensions into the printer.
