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 Animal Planet Air Swimmers Clown Fish is a new take on R/C play. This is a helium balloon that is more than four feet long. Once you get it assembled, you fly it through the air, controlling it using the remote control, and it moves like it's swimming. There is a ballast on the bottom of the balloon that can be controlled by the remote to move the fish up or down and two directional controls that move the fish's tail.
Why It’s Fun
The movements of the Clown Fish balloon really do mimic those of real fish in water—once you get the hang of controlling the balloon. There's a bit of a learning curve with this toy as you familiarize yourself with the different controls and get the fish flying. But this is a spectacular product once you get it going. This is a dramatic toy that kids are going to have a great deal of fun flying around the house.
Who It’s For
The Air Swimmers Clown Fish is for ages 8 and up.
What to Be Aware of
It took us a couple of hours to put this together. Follow the directions carefully. You'll need a helium tank to inflate the fish. An Air Swimmers Helium Tank is sold separately and retails for about $20.
You're going to need a lot of space to fly this. Do not take it outside.
The Air Swimmers Clown Fish takes three AAA and one nine-volt battery, which are included.
