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
Tactile play, put-and-take play, and object manipulations are important components of play, particularly for developing infants. That's why the classic ball, sized right for small hands, is included in many interactive toys targeted to the youngest kids. The Get Rollin' Activity Table comes with six colorful balls and lots of different ways to use them. The merry-go-round spins the balls. Babies can also send the balls rolling down the ball ramp, and the balls will end up coming out of one of the four table legs. There are also other play areas on the table, including a peek-a-boo alligator, a caterpillar piano, an electronic book with a page that babies can flip back and forth, number buttons to press, a fish bead spinner, and turtle gears to spin. Babies can play in Play Mode, where they will hear music and fun sounds, or Learning Mode, where they will hear letters, numbers, and colors. Simply flip the book page to change modes. There are 60 different activities and songs. The Get Rollin' Activity Table also has English and Spanish phrases.
Why It’s Fun
All the different play in the Get Rollin' Activity Table introduces children to basic early learning skills, such as shapes, colors, and numbers. The ball play and other tactile play help children develop fine motor skills. With eight play areas and 60 activities and songs, this activity table has a lot to keep infants and toddlers having fun.
Who It’s For
The Get Rollin' Activity Table is for ages 6—36 months.
What to Be Aware of
The table legs are detachable for floor play.
One of the key things for parents and caregivers to remember about this mode of play is that even though it looks repetitive, each time a child places the ball, he or she is making new connections about cause and effect and the beginnings of understanding their role in making things happen.
The Get Rollin' Activity Table comes with three AA batteries.
