Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Treat your preschooler to some very silly buzzy-work with this little honey of a bee. Getting the fun going is easy: just place the Honeybee Hop hive on a level spot and press the big button in the center. A kooky rendition of "The Flight of the Bumblebee" plays as the bumblebee circles round and round on a flexible green arm, inviting your preschooler to chase, dodge and hippity-hop over it. For a slower game, press the button once, or press it again to pick up the action. Like skipping rope, the Honeybee Hop challenges timing and balance while giving kids a giggle-packed workout — and it’s awful cute to boot!

Product Description

Kids will "bee" happy as they try to dodge the dizzy bee with a hop, skip or a jump. The motorized beehive spins the whimsical bee to the familiar song "Flight of the Bumblebee" and silly sounds, encouraging kids to get active as they play this creative game of keep-away. Kids can flee the bee - or chase after him. The 26" motorized arm spins at two different speeds to help kids develop coordination as they hop, skip and jump their way through this game of laugh-out-loud play. And while kids are focused on having fun, they'll also get to practice taking turns with their playmates. Includes beehive, two connector rods, honeybee and instructions. Requires 3 "C" batteries, not included.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 3 year old loves this!, November 13, 2007

This review is from: Hasbro Playskool Honeybee Hop (Toy)

Ok, so I'll admit that this game isn't perfect, but I still give it 5 stars... it was just so much fun! Seriously, everyone (Mom, Dad, and 3 year old) were laughing so hard while we played this that tears came to our eyes. My daughter asks for this game all the time... and because it encourages so much movement/physical activity, I'm more than willing to compromise on a few things. You gotta love games that both keep kids moving and laughing at the same time!

(BTW - Things I would change: more variety in the music & the ability to take the game apart... right now, it won't fit back in the box - both of these issues are minor ones to me!)

Bought this for my active 6 year olds' birthday..she is in Kindergarten. We all love this game..it was the hit of the party. My 8 and 10 year old enjoy playing it as well...it has an acceleration speed for the older kids. We use this toy on the hard floor in the house, as the bee does not roll well on the carpet. Fun "winter" activity for all ages, when the weather is too cold for outside activity. Durable and batteries last a long time.

This is a great toy on many different levels. My daughter is a very athletic and active 3 year old. Now that the weather has turned colder, I am looking for ways to keep her active. She loves the Honeybee Hop. We add variety to the game by throwing and catching balls or making the Honeybee part of a circuit of activities such as a mini trampoline and wobble boards.

I rate it high in educational value because active children do better with reading, drawing and other academic activities. We do our physical activity with the Honeybee, then she is ready to sit down and do her letters and numbers.
