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
Tollytots has created an interactive doll that brings Belle, the princess from Beauty and the Beast, to life as a character and a friend and playmate for little girls. The Singing and Storytelling Belle is a gorgeous version of Belle as a little girl, which is the theme of the My First Disney Princess line. Belle is a large doll with a soft body that comes wearing a beautiful dress based on the character's signature yellow gown from the movie. Turn on the doll and Belle interacts with all of her friends: Lumiere, Chip, and Mrs. Potts. When kids place one of the three characters in Belle's hand, the doll recognizes which character it is and will talk to that character. Place the storybook in Belle's hand and the doll will read aloud a version of Beauty and the Beast. Give Belle the magic rose microphone to hear Belle sing "Beauty and the Beast" or "Be Our Guest." Press the button on Belle's bracelet to hear more phrases. Belle has more than 100 character phrases programmed into the doll. There's lots of classic doll play as Belle asks girls to brush her hair and pretend to have a tea party.
Why It’s Fun
All the interaction between Singing and Storytelling Belle and girls will inspire lots of imaginative play. The technology in this interactive doll is virtually transparent and seamless to kids, keeping the focus on the play. This is a great combination of classic doll play and interactive magic.
