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 mini robotic bugs that mimic the movement and seemingly random behaviors of real bugs. There are a variety of Hexbugs to collect as well as several playsets to give your Hexbugs a place to roam. One of the newest sets is the Hexbug Nano Habitat Set Featuring the Construct System. This set has been updated with the Construct Habitat System and now features new modular parts and accessories to extend creative playtime. There are different ways that kids can configure this set, and once configured, there are even more options for customization. The floor of each Hex Cell now comes spotted with attachment points where kids can insert the playground accessory of their choice including pegs, adjustable flags, a seesaw, a merry-go-round, and vertical and horizontal rollers. The newly designed Hex Cells also come with removable walls so multiple cells can be connected to one another to create vast and diverse environments. The set comes with 10 easy-connect pieces, 20 construct pieces, and two Hexbug Nanos. This can be connected to other Hexbug Nano sets and accessories.
Why It’s Fun
The essential element of fun in Hexbug play is the seemingly random movements that mimic bugs and the ability of kids to create different worlds and obstacles for the bugs to interact with. Kids will like creating their own environments for their Hexbug Nanos and adapting or changing them to see how these mini robots respond in different configurations. The Hexbug Nano Habitat Set Featuring the Construct System makes a great addition to any child's Hexbug collection, as well as being a great stand-alone playset.
Who It’s For
The Hexbug Nano Habitat Set Featuring the Construct System is for ages 3 and up, but we think older kids are going to get more out of this set. It will also be easier for older kids to use the easy-connect pieces to construct and deconstruct the set.
What to Be Aware of
Two button-cell batteries are included.
The Hexbug Nano Habitat Set Featuring the Construct System is available at Target stores nationwide and online at www.hexbug.com.
