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
Hexbugs are little robotic bugs that move around like real bugs and kids love playing with. The Hexbugs have a lot of new play environments, including the Hexbug Nano Hive Habitat Set. This is the first transportable environment that enables kids to customize the design and layout within the set. The Hive Habitat Set comes with one extremely rare Hexbug Nano and 35 easy-connect construction pieces, including 16 pegs, 16 adjustable flags, two merry-go-rounds, and a see-saw. When playtime is over, fold up the sides of the playset for easy clean-up and storage. The Hive Habitat Set is compatible with other Hexbug Nano Habitats.
Why It’s Fun
Hexbug Nanos mimic the apparently random movements and behaviors of bugs that fascinate boys and girls. These electronic bugs are bugs that kids actually want to play with. The Hexbug Nano Hive Habitat Set makes a great addition to any child's Hexbug collection, as well as being a great stand-alone playset. Kids will like being able to customize the set and make their Hexbugs do different actions with the construction pieces.
Who It’s For
The Hexbug Nano Hive Habitat Set is for ages 3 and up. This toy and the Hexbugs themselves are mostly going to appeal to kids who are interested in science and the world around them. For all their apparent simplicity, the Hexbugs are very sophisticated robots, which is also intriguing to kids interested in that.
What to Be Aware of
The Hexbug Nano comes with a button-cell battery.
