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
Richard Scarry's Busytown Busy, Busy Airport Game brings the world of Richard Scarry to life. Assemble the game right in the box, setting up the cards and play pieces and the airport tower, and place the destination cards around the room you're playing in. The goal is to get all the characters from the Busytown airport to their vacation destinations—such as the beach, mountains, and city—and collect souvenirs. On your turn, drop the dice through the control tower, and you'll have your choice of one of two actions—either loading passengers into your plane or flying off to a destination. If you choose to fly your passengers to a destination, you drop them off and pick up souvenir cards. The game ends when all the passengers have reached their vacation spots, and the pilot who has collected the most souvenirs is the winner. The game comes with four airplanes, a dice tower, 16 passenger tiles, 16 souvenir cards, four destination mats, two dice, and game rules. It is for two to four players. All the pieces store inside the box for easy clean-up when play is done.
Why It’s Fun
This is a great way for kids to interact with the beloved Richard Scarry characters. The colorful artwork is wonderfully done, and we like that this game gets kids up and moving as they "fly" their passengers to the different destination cards. This is a terrific classic game that will fit in any kids' collection.
