Hasbro Playskool Honeybee Hop

Hasbro Playskool Honeybee Hop

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.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars HoneyBee Hop quit working
HoneyBee Hop worked fine for a while on carpet and hard floors, BUT then the plastic arm and bee would not rotate anymore. I tried new batteries but no change. I then took it apart. The rubber drive belt connected to the motor apparently expanded and loosened and would no longer make the bee move. A pity because it looked well engineered with its’ circuit board and gears and whatever. The weak link was the rubber drive belt.

2 Stars Broke after just a few uses
I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 4 1/2 who just loved this toy until it broker after just a few uses. The rod no longer spins around but it plays the music like nothing is wrong. Such a shame that it broke so soon because my kids really liked it and we getting some good exercise while working on their concentration skills. My youngest child would just giggle and squeal with delight while waiting for it to spin back around to her. She never got the hang of jumping over it but that’s okay because she loved it when it ran into her. My older child was great at it. Too bad it was not more durable.

4 Stars loud, but fun
My three year-old daughter loves running around after the bee and catching it. It seems to be pretty durable and easy to move. The only cons are it doesn’t run on carpet. Plus, the music is loud and doesn’t come with an on/off button.

2 Stars Great toy but wore out quickly
I would have given this a better rating if it weren’t for the fact it broke down at remarkable speed. At first it would run on any surface. Then only on tile. Now not at all.

Hasbro comes out with really good ideas on toys but the quality is so poor the toys don’t last (or like our sit and spin isn’t put together right from the start).

4 Stars HoneyBee Hop by Hasbro
We bought Honey Bee Hop by Hasbro for a three year old. She loves the music and laughs trying to hop over the wand. Grownups have to hop with her, and that makes it even more funfor everyone. It is a good activity toy for young children.
