I made my own ‘paddling pool’ in garden for my kids and they LOVE it – it’s cheaper than B&M and Aldi
A DAD who made his own ‘paddling pool’ for his kids say they love it – and it’s cheaper than B&M and Aldi.
As summer heatwaves approach, families might be on the look out for the perfect way to cool down.
In a video shared to TikTok, one man showed his genius summertime garden hack.
His adorable toddler could be seen playing with a large bucket filled with cool water.
They were kept entertained just by emptying and filling the ‘pool’ themselves.
“When it’s hot outside, give your kid a bucket of water”, he wrote.
“Always be safe and watch your kiddo while they play with these buckets”, he added.
