Sandpits offer no end of fun for kids during the summer months. They encourage outdoor play and exercise, while also helping develop your child's creativity skills, as they work at building sand castles and making shapes in the sand, try digging or simply let their imaginations run wild playing with their toys on sunny days in the garden.

Shoppers are buzzing about an affordable sand pit with a UV protection sunshade from Lidl, which has garnered attention on social media. The Scooter kit comes with a steering handle, as well as stabilisers to help young ones feel in control while keeping them safe and sound. Transforming any pavement into endless fun, Lidl’s 4-in-1 Scooter features weight shift steering which is great for helping kids develop their balance and coordination skills while having a great time playing outdoors. Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.There's also a brand new feature that hasn't been included in previous models - an ‘ice cream parlour‘ play corner with 2 holes for sand-cones and 2 plastic containers. At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.

While some rushed to get them for their kids, others went shopping for their pooches. Wendy Townsend commented: "Might be worth getting for the dogs in the summer." Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
