Have you a tot over 9 months old that you want to buy a toy for? This Chad valley musical TV might be the present you want to give. It is available from http://www.argos.co.uk for £3.99 usual price £6.99. Argos has now taken over selling Chad valley toys instead of Woolworths. I admit it's a long time since I have played with this toy, but it is in one of the Special needs nursery classes I have worked in This TV is a slim blue plastic rectangular toy it has a green carry handle. The front of the TV has a screen to view the picture through. The red Chad valley label in one corner of the surround. A yellow dog with green spots decorated the other side of the screen. There is a round circular control to twist and an on off switch.
This toy will encourage your child to use their fine motor skills to click push the switch from off to on. Then twist the red dial around as far as they can. When the control is released the pictures will wind past the screen showing your child different scenes some with animals playing football. While the screen changes music is played. These are familiar nursery tunes. The tunes are not harsh, they may get on your nerves after a bit but they do not last long and are not those awful American accents in tunes which we often hear on Vtech toys (sorry if I offend but I really do not like the American accent on some of the Vtech toys.) Tots like looking at the pictures as they change. This toy can be used as a language tool. Point to the pictures and name the items. Sing along to the music.
At this price I would say it's a good deal. This toy is quite robust should last a long time. Chad valley is an English firm making toys. Toys were made in the late 1800's early 1900's in Birmingham the Chad valley firm having its roots in a printing and book binding business
