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
The Level 2 Mini Guitars from First Act are acoustic guitars designed for budding musicians. The guitars feature a traditional body shape, real tuning gears, and four easy-playing strings. The guitars feature different characters that kids love, such as Cars 2 and Disney Princesses. Each is sold separately.
Now, for any real musicians who might be reading this, the instrument is really a Ukelele because of its four strings, and it should be tuned as such. (G,C,E,A)
Why It’s Fun
What we like about these guitars is that they offer actual musical elements for kids to explore. While not necessarily teaching kids how to play the guitar, these guitars are designed to get kids comfortable with a guitar and may inspire an interest in the instrument down the road.
Most importantly, the Level 2 Mini Guitars are all about just letting kids play. By age 3, toddlers have begun to imitate words and tunes of familiar songs, learning through rhyme and repetition. With these guitars, kids are mirroring what they hear and see and engaging in open-ended, imaginative play.
Who It’s For
The Level 2 Mini Guitars are for ages 3 and up.
What to Be Aware of
Music can play an important role in a child's development. Studies have shown that it can enhance a child's intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development.
From a tuning standpoint, you'll have to retune it often over the first few days as the strings adapt to being stretched. This happens with real instruments as well as toy ones.
