Toys and Games Reviews of Hasbro Playskool Honeybee Hop
Customer Review: Hoppin' Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Great toy for my 5 and 6 year old grand children, but is fun for much older children. Although they have a playroom full, they requested the Honeybee Hop every day. The two speeds and 5-inch control button at the top gives the young user complete control of the game with which they are most comfortable. Chasing the bee is a fun warm up before jumping. The turning arm is close to the ground so that stepping on it is not a safety concern, nor, breaks the toy. The toy stops if it touches something in front of it and then continues on when the obstacle is removed. The accompanying song stimulates fun activity keeping every one laughing. I frequently catch the parents joining in the fun and jumping to the children's delight. Great indoor cardio, coordination and creative play! The Honeybee Hop can easily be used outside if there is a surface over which the bee can roll. This is definitely one of the better, yet reasonably priced, toys I have purchased.Customer Review: Lots of fun with potential for learning if you're creative!

I set this up for my 3 year old one morning and it literally ran all day long. It may appear to be simplistic. Well, it is. It's just a bug on a stick that goes around and around. But it's an amazing amount of fun. You've got the basic hop over the bee game which is more fun with more people. Get two or three kids trying to jump and there WILL be collisions so extra fun. We've also discovered some interesting educational potential. Besides the basic count how many times you can jump, my son wanted to see what would make it stop. Would a matchbox car stop it? (no) Would his tank stop it? (yes!) Then we had fun putting balls in the path and trying to predict where they would end up as they got shot out of the circle. As a bonus, in order to use this toy, you need a circle of about 4 feet in diameter so toys need to be picked up first! And it's not just good exercise for your child. Play it with them and you WILL get a workout!Customer Review: Best toy EVER!

This toy is hilarious! My 3 year old AND 7 year old love it. All three of us laugh hysterically when we get this out. When I first put it together, I thought that it didn't look very durable and would break easily, but that has proven to not "bee" the case. It has endured hundreds of hops right on top of the plastic pole and the bee, and the toy just keeps right on going! Even funnier is the music that is being played, "The Flight of the Bumblebee." It is so infectious, don't be surprised if you find yourself hopping along with your kids! I agree with another reviewer, it is a great winter activity because it wears the kids out, quickly. Believe me, your kids will love this, I don't care what their interests are!!! This is the best toy I have ever bought for the entertainment value and the price. You will not be disappointed.
Customer Review: Keeps the kids moving.

My 3 year old got this for her birthday. She and her 6 year old sister enjoy it. It is good for just one or two kids to play together. When a group of kids try to play without taking turns, the toy takes a beating. I am surprised that the tube that they jump over has survived being jumped on by bigger kids. It sometimes sticks when that happens, but just needs an extra push. The on button works like this--hit it once and rotates slowly; hit it twice, fast rotation. Third hit turns off the unit. The kids often keep hitting the button, thinking that it will keep it going after someone steps on it or stops the rotation. However, the toy will keep going on its own. So they often end up turning it off by accident. It has survived a lot of hard play in the 2 weeks we have had it.
All in all, a fun toy that keeps the kids moving and laughing.
Customer Review: The kids love this toy!
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids, ages 2 and 3, received this honeybee toy for Christmas. Three months later, it is still played with daily. This was definitely the runaway hit of Christmas. They started out just chasing it, but now they're starting to jump over it. Our 6-yr old neighbor will come over and work up a sweat jumping over it for 15 minutes or more. It's great for those days you're stuck inside all day and the kids have energy to burn. The 'Flight of the Bumblebee' song has definitely started to drive my husband crazy, though, because they will literally have it going for 30 minutes or more straight. It has also withstood some wear and tear. They've dragged it around, pretended it was a horse stick to ride on, and bent the stick--it's still working just fine and the stick always seems to straighten out. They love this toy!
