We’re excited to be part of the new Chad Valley Play Panel, where we’ll be bringing you reviews of lots of fun Chad Valley toys in the run up to Christmas. To celebrate, Chad Valley are offering one lucky In The Playroom reader the chance to win a £75 Argos voucher, that you could spend on Chad Valley toys for your own kids. We’ll be bringing you a second Argos voucher giveaway nearer to Christmas too – so there’s double the chance of winning!
I’m honoured to have been invited to be a part of the Chad Valley Play Panel. I grew up with Chad Valley toys and have always loved and cherished their products as they really do enable kids to use their imaginations. I feel that it is important to keep playing with traditional toys alive in an era where electronic devices and online games can sometimes dominate.
You can find out more about the Chad Valley Play Panel here
150 years old, the range of over 400 Chad Valley toys is exclusively available at Argos and the majority of toys are for babies, toddlers and younger children. The really special thing about Chad Valley is that all the toys are designed and developed purely with play in mind. That’s it, just pure play and imagination! So, you’ll see hero products such as the Wooden Police & Fire Station and the incredibly life-like Tiny Treasures newborn baby dolls, which are incredibly popular as they allow children aged 0-3 to submerge themselves in pure imagination, creating their own little worlds to play in. That said, older children are important too, which is why you’ll also find ranges like Design A Friend, offering imaginative fun for children up to the age of nine.
With our first Chad Valley delivery, we were sent the Wooden Police & Fire Station along with the Chad Valley Wooden Castle and Chad Valley Hovercraft – look out for reviews coming very soon!
