I’m not sure if this is the right place to vent about this, but I’ve noticed a few listing errors in the toyportfolio.com website. Such as, the Playskool Tonka Bounce Back Racer (see previous post), shouldn’t the category be changed to Preschool, or Preschool, Early School Years? When you look under the age categories, this toy would not come up, except in the Early School Years category. Nor would the Connectagons come up in the Early School Years category, as it is listed only in the Late School Years category…. Again, I use your website as one of my main references for toy/gift buying. And admittedly being obsessive-compulsive regarding details such as these, I was wondering if any of these changes would be made on the website? Thanks for your attention and prompt responses!

You’re right-older preschoolers (4s) with developed fine motor skills will enjoy them as well. Younger preschoolers or kids with less than great fine motor skills will find these pretty frustrating.
As to the Playskool Tonka Bounce Back Racer–again it would be a good choice for 5s and 6s as well as preschoolers…it’s very easy to make something happen. Most 7s would think it’s too easy. As with most toys, it depends on the skill level of your child and also if your child has older siblings–that tend to pull younger kids to more advanced toys and play scenarios. Thanks for your feedback!!

I noticed that the Connectagons was posted in the “Late School Years” category on the website…. Is this toy also for maybe younger ages as well? Also, is the Playskool Tonka Bounce Back Racer correctly supposed to be an Early School Years toy? It seems to me more for Preschool ages…. BTW, thanks for all your hard work! Your guides are my bible for choosing toys & books!
