We also need 5 of the testers who are willing to video their child playing with the toy. These videos will be used on the Chad Valley pages on Mumsnet in June and possibly elsewhere (they will be hosted on YouTube). If you are willing to undertake the video element please indicate this on the form link below. You will be supplied with a camcorder (which will need to be returned). You will be advised re filming requirements but it won't be a lot!
If selected you will be sent the toy which will be yours to keep - all we ask is that you add your feedback to a thread on Mumsnet. All testers who add feedback will be entered into a draw to win a £100 voucher for the store of your choice. We'd also like testers to add a review to the Mumsnet toy review section.
If you aren't selected please do look out for the feedback thread as we'll be opening this up to all MNers to add their own reviews of any Chad Valley toys their child is currently playing with. Everyone who does so will be entered into a draw where one winner will receive a £100 store voucher.

Is it open to ROI readers? If so I'd be very interested, I have 3 kids: dd(6), ds1(4, almost 5) and ds2(2)
We already have a kitchen, castle and doll's house though, but all the others including the kitchen utensil set would go down a storm with my lot.
Would be willing to video too, providing the kid's cooperate 
Would love to. Up for the video too.
Have millions of kids reaching most age brackets
Ann, I'm just going to fill in the form now - am very happy to film them too, but cant we just use our own camcorder? I dont want the responsibility of borrowing yours and breaking it 
. Plus I know how mine works!!
Ha ha ok. We'll give it a whirl if we get picked. I'm afraid I've just written you an essay on the last parts of the questionnaire; I do love giving opinions
Btw to anyone trying to decide - I bought the dino thing in the sale (£15.99) and we gave it to friends little boy for his bday. I dont think they even took it out of the box 
. Shame, as I'd have kept it myself if she'd just said. Its very similar to the elc one. But I havent opted for it on this, as they're now overridden with dino stuff!
Ann, I think I want your job! Sorting out product testing would be my ideal world
I would love to test the tent! But I know already that it wouldnt stand up to 2 small boys; they roll around the garden inside them and knacker the pop-up capability 
Eek just seen paino is pink.Think ds will be cross about that as he likes blue
