Toys and Games Reviews of Hasbro Playskool Honeybee Hop
Customer Review: Comparison Shop
Summary: 3 Stars
There were a couple aspects of this toy that I did not anticipate. As other reviewers have said, it doesn't work well on carpet. If you're using it outdoors, any patch of cement will do. But if you're using indoors, you need a large area with no obstructions and flat flooring. Also, because the honeybee rotates around the yellow "hive", the diameter of the toy is extremely large. I would highly recommend comparing this with the Super Skipper by Iplay as it has all the same fun but none of the drawbacks (the rotating handle is elevated making the type of flooring irrelevant and the spinning axis is in the middle, making the toy need half the amount of space to play.) I would purchase that instead if I did it over again.Customer Review: got the family moving!

I bought this for a grandchild based on the reviews I read. It is simple to use and was enjoyed by our group of 2-6 year olds, though the 4-6 year olds seemed to enjoy it most. It was perfect for burning up some of that extra kid energy and it got teens through grandparents up and moving and laughing for a time as well. It worked fine on our carpet which is not very plush. For the most part our young crowd did not play it as an elimination game, but just ran and jumped for giggles and fun. When they tired of jumping, they chased the bee for awhile and then reversed and went back to jumping.So far it has seemed durable and able to withstand the active play. I bought it on sale and think this was a good deal.Customer Review: Pretty fun for toddlers

Bought this for my 3 year-old daughter's birthday, and the first day she had it she played with it for over an hour and got hot and sweaty. She doesn't play with it daily but does seem to really like it (had it about a month) and best of all will play by herself with it. It has 2 speeds and makes a silly noise when the bee "catches" you (when it runs into your feet and legs if you miss jumping over it) - designed to run around, jump over the bee as it zooms by, etc. Seems very good to pull out when bored for a little indoor exercise and small enough to stick in a closet or carry to any room. Really a super simple toy but seems durable and entertaining, even for the dog and for me! Takes 3 C batteries.Customer Review: JUMP JUMP JUMP!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 3 year old son has a neurological condition that has resulted in global developmental delays, including not having the coordination to jump & hop like other toddlers. My son's physical therapist introduced us to this toy as part of the "therapy," and my son went crazy for it. He was laughing so hard, he was just in a giggling heap!
The premise of the game is simple, the bee spins around and plays the frenetic "Flight of the Bumble Bee" music, and the kid jumps over the bee. But the energy of the music and the activity is what really makes this a great little toy. My son enjoys it so much, he doesn't even realize he's getting a physical therapy workout!
Customer Review: Fun for ALL AGES!*** Great toy!***

This toy has been a hit for over a year now! You put it in an open area inside or outside, push the button, the bee wand begins to spin and music plays. The kids jump over the bee wand and if it hits them it stops and make a funky noise. It begins to spin again and the longer it goes the faster it spins and the faster the beat of the music. I believe it has two setting to begin with. I pull this out whenever the kids get antcy and get them moving. My 4 & 7 year old love the happy bee.
I would say the only two things that aren't great are that the max amount of kids that can play with it are 3 at a time and sometimes I can't get the tune out of my head! lol.
