This is a paddling pool with tons of extras to keep the kids entertained in the sun. There's two little pools with a slide in the middle, plus a slope to send play balls down and watch them splashing into the water. There's also a flower that turns into a water sprinkler when you attach your garden hose.

This looks great for younger kids as it's not too deep, and reviewers have said that it works well as a ball pit too.

There's plenty of stock about for free reserve and collect from Argos stores, or home delivery costs £3.95.
