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 premise of the game Doggie Doo is simple and a little gross: Feed and walk the dog. When the dog poops, clean up the mess. The centerpiece of the game is a doggie figure that sits in the center of the game play area. The game comes with a container of "dog food", which is really just a bright yellow, squishy compound. Fill the dog bowl with pieces of the "food" and then place the "food" in the dog's mouth. Use the bone to push the "food" far enough into the dog's mouth. (If the food isn't in the dog's mouth far enough, you won't be able to get the dog to poop.) On each turn, a player rolls the die to see how many times he or she squeezes the handle at the end of the leash. With each squeeze of the leash, the dog makes a gassy sound that gets louder and louder until the "doo" (the "food" compound that has moved its way through the dog) comes out the other end. If the "doo" comes out on your turn, you get to collect it on your shovel and feed the dog again. The first player to collect three pieces of doggie doo wins the game.
Doggie Doo comes with a dog with leash and the leash pump handle, a bone, a die, four shovels, one container of "dog food", one treat mold in the shape of a dog bowl, and rules. The game is for two to four players.
Why It’s Fun
Yes, this game is kind of gross, but kids at the target age are fascinated by bodily functions. (After all, these are the kids who think that the book Walter the Farting Dog is the height of comedy.) They love giggling about the grossness and playing with the concept of doggie doo, all the while knowing that it's clean and safe. As a result they feel free to revel in the slightly disgusting silliness of it. Doggie Doo is easy to play, and kids will get a kick out of making the dog "poop" and then playing with the "poop".
Who It’s For
Doggie Doo is for ages 4 and up.
What to Be Aware of
Make sure to store the "dog food" inside its container with the lid tightly closed or it will dry out.
