Chad Valley dolls and toys

By the 1970's however Chad Valley itself began experiencing problems. Restructuring took place between 1973-75 which saw all but two of the factories owned by the firm closed down. All soft toy manufacturing moved to Pontypool. Zizilady 'My 2yr old granddaughter takes them to bed with her and we hear her playing them until she falls asleep. and we also wake up to them in the morning.'

The origin of the species

Jolene 'Very basic- does not sound musical but good for children who just want to make some noise.' Vas 'Great little toy that I bought for my son to sit and play with it. Plenty of sounds and music to keep him busy. Worth it.' Friend 'The drum and instruments are perfect for small children to make their musical talents heard! Colourful and a great size for children to use by themselves, aiding independence.' Jess 'I bought this drum toy for my 15 month old - she loves it, it makes loads of noise and is fun!'

Bea 'My daughter doesn't play much with this. Quality wise is ok but I just think my daughter is not interested in these. It makes a good little gift. Well presented too.' Bret 'Overall excellent quality however the trumpet is a bit quiet and hard for younger kids to use.' Stumpy 'Nice present for a two year old who likes playing music ..she loved it .pity battery's are not with it had to buy them so it work Xmas day .'Claymoore08 'No matter how loud it can be, the children absolutely love it! Good quality and can take a good beating! Great price and really good quality toys!' It’s the ‘why’ you really need to get together. There are far too many players out there who get all the facilities together and still don’t know why they’re doing it, what their role in the music is. Natlamps 'My 9 month old loves all these so much. Me not so much haha . Great creativity play and hours of fun :D I have even started joining in so we have a right old band coming on now' Lmary 'So cheap but so effective and an amazing gift, not thin and cheap feeling and has good sounds.' Mummyof6crazyones 'I was a little disappointed with this set. The plastic is cheap and flimsy. The noises from the instruments aren’t great sounding. My 3 year old loves these things usually but played with it once and won’t touch it.'
