Despair not — there are lots of ways to get them playing on the cheap . . .
TOY LIBRARY: At these places, parents can rent toys, puzzles and games sure to go down a treat with your little ones.
From Sussex to Glasgow, toy libraries are now springing up around the country.
You can expect to pay a small fee for rentals, but it is a much cheaper way to access expensive gadgets than buying them new in the shops — and helps cut down on piles of unused toys at home.
FREEBIES: Kids grow up quickly, leaving toys that were once favourites ready for a new home.
If you know the right places to look, you can pick up plenty of freebies from parents trying to clear out their homes.
The YoungPlanet app connects people to hundreds of parents getting rid of unwanted toys, as well as clothes and other stuff.
You can make requests or simply browse what's available.
Sign up to selling groups run for local parents on Facebook Marketplace.
Alongside sellers there are plenty of people happy to give away toys and other items.
Parents are scrambling to The Range to nab new kids' toys - there's inflatables, swimming pools and up to 40% off
SCRUB UP: Think outside the box to get children re-engaged with past favourites they might have lost interest in, providing new playtime at no extra cost.
Fill a small tub with warm, soapy water and ask kids to give dolls or other toys a bath.
Use some chalk outside to create a race track to follow with toy cars.
Or fill a large tray with some flour and add diggers or dinosaurs.
Or simply lay out their toys in a different way to spark interest — setting up toy scenes, rather than having them tidied away in boxes, can rekindle enthusiasm.

'I adopted abandoned dog and one heartwarming gesture made it all worth while'
Mark adopted the dog who was left abandoned on the streets then named him Dexter, now the rest is history. He shared his heartbreaking story in a post on TikTok Sadly the many stories of abandoned dogs is all too common. Often dog shelter workers might find a microchip inside an animal, while another might be rescued from a Lidl car park. Either way, there's a new heartwarming story every day and this latest one might just make you tear up. Mark opened up about the heartbreaking story in a lengthy post on TikTok under the account soulpaws_tails which allows people to share their own case. It all begun when he saw a photo of the dog, who was unnamed at the time and nearly placed on the euthanasia list. But Mark saw a picture of the pup who "looked very sad and thin" then named him Dexter. At first, he didn't have a name because no one wanted to adopt him. After being found in the streets of Georgia, US, in 2019, and arrived at the shelter about 10lbs underweight with half his fur missing due to fleas and sun damage. Dexter was house trained and knew basic commands so he most likely had lived in a home before. In the clip, which garnered 6,100 likes, Mark revealed: "In the southern US, bully breeds like pit bulls, sadly have a very low chance of being adopted and once they're added to the euthanasia list, their fate becomes even more uncertain. "Dexter had been at the shelter for weeks without a single inquiry, then a rescue group called Fly With Me noticed him and decided to step in." Mark also recalled the first moment he met Dexter, one that changed everything for him. "He jumped all over us like he'd known us forever," he admitted. "Most rescue dogs need time to adjust but Dexter felt calm and at peace." He added: "From the very first moment he came home, he bonded with our cat Zoe incredibly fast, he's so gentle with her, they're always sleeping next to each other. "At first I planned to set some ground rules, like no dogs on the couch or the bed, but guess you broke that rule within just two or three days, yep me. "My fiancé still teases me about the day she came home to find me and Dexter napping on the couch together, he's the friendliest dog I've ever known, but sadly we've also encountered some judgemental people." Discussing one heartbreaking moment, Mark revealed how an elderly woman warned him: "That creature is going to attack you in your sleep one night," a sentence which stuck with him for so long. But none of it mattered to Mark as their bond is "unlike anything" he ever experienced. Along the way, Mark even faced health struggles where he was diagnosed with Lupus and developed a blood clot in his right leg. Mark explained: "We've been fight through everything together to me Dexter's like a therapist. "He's so in tune with my emotions that even if I don't say a word or move a muscle he somehow knows when I'm stressed. "He quickly walks over, lies down on my lap and just like that everything gets a little bit easier. "Dexter's energy has made me a more active person too, we go to the beach together, he runs like crazy and digs like he's on a mission. "Sometimes he even sprints through the hallways at full speed and he absolutely loves jumping on the bed." Since the video was shared, people were left touched by Mark's kindness. One said: "He's beautiful, thank goodness you found each other."

We tried every item from Lidl's bakery — 39p item with ‘no faults' was the best
Greggs might have the monopoly on sausage rolls in the UK, but when it comes to cheese twists, brownies and pizza slices, there's another place people head to. Lidl's in store bakeries are the unlikely favourite of many Brits, who can't get enough of the low prices and large array of pastries, cakes and savoury items. Don't believe me? The retailer has been crowned the UK's favourite supermarket bakery for two years running and they sell 122 All Butter Croissants every single minute. The permanent selection of baked goods includes 41 different items, and they regularly add limited-edition treats to the range. But which items are actually worth buying? Metro decided to find out by trying every item from Lidl's bakery – and we've ranked them all. Below are our completely honest reviews, from the best of the bunch, to the ones we wouldn't buy again. We scored each item out of five and have grouped all the ones with the same scores together, going from highest to lowest score, but in no particular order. Chocolate Iced Doughnut, 39p You can't go wrong with Lidl's chocolate doughnut. It's a perfect afternoon sweet treat and not overly-indulgent. It's an underrated classic and far better than the supermarket's other doughnut options (looking at you Pink Iced Ring Doughnut). I honestly can't fault it. Score: 5/5 Cheese Twist, 99p Lidl's cheese twist is particularly good – and did I mention it only costs 99p!? The pastry strikes just the right balance between flaky and buttery, with a sharp mature cheddar filling that cuts through the richness. The only issue is I could inhale a dozen without thinking, but that's a 'me problem' Score: 5/5 Ultimate Chocolate Brownie, 89p Rich, fudgy and super gooey, this ultimate chocolate brownie is basically a chocolate lover's dream. Full of deep cocoa flavour with that perfect dense, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Score: 5/5 Reviewed by Anushka Suharu, audience growth editor Toffee Filled Yum Yum, 79p Being a Northerner I know a thing or two about Yum Yums – they were the 'go-to' treat when you did something good, and I was always good! I have to say without question this was the best Yum Yum I've tried, the addition of the melted toffee in the middle has turned a once tasty treat into an absolute taste sensation. Everyone needs to try this, it was delicious! Score: 5/5 Chocolate Cronut, 79p Like heaven in one bite… if you have an ultra sweet tooth it's totally delicious however could not finish a whole one. Score: 5/5 Seeded Sourdough Loaf, £1.99 Very good – the type of loaf that you buy 'for the weekend' and then find yourself having eaten it all just with butter by Saturday morning. Seeds give it a hint of healthy respectability. Score: 4.5/5 Pretzel, 79p Pretzel is salty and chewy, but not too tough even after sitting around for a while. There's a lovely colour to the bake and it tastes wonderful with some cream cheese. Overall, I'm a big fan it looks visually appealing and I would buy it again. Score 4.5/5 Mozzarella and Pesto Pizza, £1.29 The perfect size for a small lunch or snack where each bite provides a delicious flavour-bomb of generous globs of cheese on a pesto-slathered base. The bread is mostly fluffy but after I popped it in the microwave for 20 seconds, the dough around the cheese went a little soggy. I would have liked a little more tomato for taste. Score: 4.5/5 White Crusty Roll, 29p Crusty on top, nice and soft on the bottom. Not the biggest roll, would be disappointing if I only had one as a sandwich for lunch, but if it was being served in a bread basket, I'd be very happy with it. Score: 4/5 Chocolate Hazelnut Croissant, 69p This tastes great. It's got the right amount of chocolate filling inside and it's even better when paired with a cup of tea. Score: 4/5 Apple Turnover, 69p Beautifully sweet and chewy on the inside, with a crunchy, flaky shell on the outside. It tasted fresh but would benefit from being warmed up. Score: 4/5 Blueberry Filled Muffin, 89p If I were rating this as part of a technical challenge on the Great British Bake Off, it would probably be a bit of a fail – the blueberries have all sunk to the bottom and whoever made it hasn't been very generous with the blueberry jam filling. However, we're not on Bake Off, so I'll let those things slide. The muffin itself is super soft, but the crumble topping adds a nice contrasting texture, and the whole thing is just on the right side of being too sweet. Paired with a cup of strong coffee, this would be a delightful breakfast or mid-morning treat. Large White Sourdough Bloomer, £1.99 The bloomer is big, easy to slice, and light but not crumbly – meaning it'll be the perfect addition to a weekend fry-up. I can already tell this sourdough is going to become a firm staple in our house, especially on Saturday mornings, served warm from the oven. Score: 4/5 Ancient Grain Roll, 35p I really liked the texture, it has a good crunch when you bite into it – it's crusty, but not too crusty. The seeds go all the way through the bread and it's got a nice flavour. This would be top notch served warm with butter. Score: 4/5 Vegetable Pizza Slice, 99p If you are going into Lidl expecting the best pizza of your life then don't. But, if you are looking for an affordable, pizza option for a snack or lunch then it is brilliant. The veg toppings taste fresh, the dough is soft (which some may dislike) but gives it a nice bread-y texture which is filling and delicious. The only real complaint is the lack of a true pizza feel, but for something tasty and cheap then you really can't go wrong! Score: 4/5 Triple Chocolate Cookie, 55p Chewy with a little crumble around the edge, super chocolatey with crunchy milk and white chocolate chips. Quite decadent but perhaps a little too rich if you've not got a massive sweet tooth. Score: 4/5 Belgian Bun, 79p A soft and squidgy bun, exactly as it should be. Good icing to bun to raisin ratio – not quite as good as one you would get from an independent bakery but a very enjoyable afternoon treat nonetheless. Score: 4/5 White Artisan Baguette, 99p Looks like something you'd buy from your local bakery or cafe and it tastes pretty darn good too. Had this been garlic bread, it would have achieved full marks. Score: 4/5 Margherita White Cheddar Pizza, 99p Has flavour, does the job and overall enjoyed it however base felt slightly too soft is my only critique but I have and would buy it again! Score: 4/5 Petit Pain, 29p Not overly exciting as far as bread rolls go, but it's a perfectly solid option for a little sandwich – like a jambon beurre, or if you wanted a roll to go with a meal. It's pretty tough and crusty though, so I imagine you'd want to add lots of butter. Score: 3.5/5 Chocolate Twist, 69p Pastry could have done with being a little more flaky, slightly on the stodgy side however there was a nice buttery taste and a generous amount of chocolate filling, overall tasty! Score: 3.5/5 Crusty Wheat & Rye Bloomer, £1.99 Honestly, if you gave me this and told me it came from Gail's, I wouldn't bat an eyelid. It's got a decent amount of flavour and it's a fraction of the price, so that's a win. Score: 3.5/5 Reviewed by Kristina Beanland, lifestyle editor Pastel de Nata, 69p Not quite like the ones you get in Portugal, but if the pastry was a bit crispier and there was a bit more flavour through the custard it would have been spot on. Score: 3.5/5 Reviewed by Jack Moore, commercial team Chocolate Hazelnut Doughnut, 79p Very Krispy Kreme vibes, a good classic filled doughnut but, and I can't quite believe I'm saying this, there was almost too much filling, which made it a bit too rich for one. Score: 3.5/5 Reviewed by Ross McCaffery, deputy opinions editor Sticky Cinnamon Bun, 79p Rich cinnamon flavour which is good and the bun is light and moist, but gets a bit sticky while eating. Missing icing on top which is a shame. Good portion though. Score: 3/5 Rosemary and Sea Salt Focaccia Roll, 69p A focaccia that isn't hot and fresh out of the oven is a bit of a hard sell, but this one still tasted good and was nicely soft. Can't really see where you might use it though, it's a little too garlicky for a snack on the go, and you'd feel a bit short changed getting served it with some pasta. Score: 3/5 Pain aux Raisin, 69p As far as pain aux raisins go, this one is mediocre at best. Like Lidl's pain au chocolat, the pastry is squishy and floppy, but there are lots of raisins inside, so that's a plus if you love those. Score: 3/5 Demi Baguette, 39p It's hard to get too excited about a plain baguette, but for the price this is a decent option. It looked slightly anaemic and didn't have the crispy crust you might expect from a classic French bread baton. That said, I was impressed by how fresh it still tasted after a day in my breadbin – a solid choice for lunchtime sandwiches. Score: 3/5 Reviewed by Jessica Lindsay, assistant lifestyle editor Almond Croissant, 69p Like many of the other pastries, this croissant looks very pale, is rather floppy and a bit doughy. There's not a consistent amount of frangipane all the way through, just a big lump in the middle. But it's got a strong almond taste. It's nice but not a high quality croissant. Score: 3/5 Cheese Pretzel Roll, 35p If you want the saltiness and firmness of a pretzel, but the texture and shape of a bread roll, look no further than the pretzel roll. The whole thing is topped with cheese, so there's a lot going on and while it tastes perfectly acceptable, the fusion of ingredients perhaps gives the bread somewhat of an identity crisis – I didn't know whether to toast it or dive straight in. Score: 3/5 Maple and Pecan Plait, 69p As far as sweet treats go, I consider maple and pecan plaits to be an elite flavour combo. However, Lidl's take was lacklustre and leaves you with a dry and sticky mouth. The filling is smooth and strong but the pastry is soft and stodgy, not crisp and crumbly as you would like. The pecans are a nice addition but unfortunately don't do much for the overall result. Score: 3/5 Stonebaked Panini Roll, 35p This is essentially a vehicle for fillings. Stuff it with molten cheese, some kind of sauce and meat and you'd have yourself a good panini. Not exciting on its own, rather bland and spongy, but who is just eating a panini like that anyway? Score: 3/5 Milk Chocolate Cookie, 55p There is nothing worse than a hard cookie – and thankfully, this is not that. In fact, it might be too chewy. I reckon this is 5/5 when it comes out the oven but loses its moisture quickly. Luckily for us, tea exists, and this was back up to a 5/5 once I'd given it a quick dunk. Score: 3/5 Pink Iced Ring Doughnut, 39p It would be 2/5 but it gets an extra point for looking like the Simpson's donut. It didn't really blow me away, the dough was chewy but was overall a bit bland. Still a nice afternoon sweet treat nonetheless. Score: 3/5 White Chocolate Cookie, 55p Anyone who knows me will know that I LOVE a cookie, especially a white chocolate one, so I was pretty excited to try this one. It was soft and chewy in the middle, looked a little under baked (which I like) and had lots of chocolate chips on top. I loved the texture but it's not as good as an M&S cookie. There's a slightly weird flavour to the cookie itself, it almost tastes like gingerbread. Score: 3/5 Jam Filled Doughnut, 49p This doughnut has a lot going for it. It's the perfect collapse-in-the-mouth texture, it's got a deliciously powdery outside that has you licking your fingers after, it's got a good dough-to-jam ratio. What it does not have, however, is depth of flavour. I like my doughnut fillings with a bit of kick – a nice tart jam – and this jam was just nice, no tart. I'm not averse to a seed in my jam either, but alas this filling was smooth and sweet, depriving Lidl of the perfect score. Score: 3/5 All Butter Croissant, 59p Lidl's croissant is a cult bakery item, but if I'm being honest I'm struggling to see why it's so popular. I love Lidl, but this just didn't hit the mark. When I buy a croissant, I expect layers of fabulously flaky pastry – I'm looking for lovely lamination, but I can't find it anywhere here. The pastry looked a little dry (although I'm pleased to say it didn't taste that way). It wasn't overtly bad, but a bit bland and stodgy, with only a slight sweetness to it. Score: 2.5/5 All Butter Pain au Chocolat, 69p The colour of the pastry is waaaaay too light, it looks like it needs to go back in the oven and it feels like it too – it's very soft and floppy. But there's a good amount of chocolate inside. I wouldn't want to start my day with one of these, but it would satisfy a hunger craving in a pinch. Score: 2.5/5 Low GI Multiseed Cobb, £1.99 The crust on this is nice, very satisfying to cut a slice, or tear into it if you just can't wait. But the bread itself has little flavour, which is rather disappointing. Score: 2/5 Reviewed by Kristina Beanland, lifestyle editor Chocolate Filled Muffin, 89p This chocolate muffin is moist and has a nice texture with tasty chocolate chips BUT the gooey centre is thin and metallic and the sponge is pretty bland. It's not a terrible choice if you're in a pinch, but there are definitely supermarkets that offer more decadent, tastier versions of this treat. Score: 2/5 Reviewed by Laura Harman, senior entertainment reporter Stonebaked White Roll, 35p This roll ticks every box, except for one and sadly, it's the most important one it misses the mark with.

Ultimately it's bland and boring. Score: 2/5 Reviewed by Courtney Pochin, specialist food writer The best of Lidl's limited-edition bakery items... During Metro's taste test, we were also lucky enough to try a few limited-edition items from Lidl bakery. These aren't currently available to buy at the supermarket, but there's always a chance they could return to shelves at some point in the future… (although, Lidl makes no promises about this). Either way, here's a look at our top picks to keep an eye out for in case they ever do make another appearance. White and Milk Chocolate Doughnut A good doughnut needs no ceremony. This one had sugar, fat, and the courage to be both milk and white chocolate. The white chocolate was soft and the milk chocolate was delicious. I bit in and god help me, it was good. Score: 4.5/5 Reviewed by Thomas Rawe, Metro account manager Birthday Cake Bun Lidl's Birthday Cake Bun combines all the best elements of a doughnut (pink icing and sprinkles) with a scroll-like bun (jam-filled and soft in the middle). Sure, it's sweet – but who really wants a birthday cake that's not? The only thing that could improve this would be for the softness to extend throughout the whole bun. Supremely satisfying. Score: 4/5 Reviewed by James Besanvalle, assistant opinion editor School Cake A well executed take on the classic school cake. Sponge was moist and full of flavour but the icing was a tad too thick to truly compare. Score: 4/5 Reviewed by Alex Goldsmith, head of social video While these aren't currently available, Lidl's limited-edition offering right now features a Cookies and Cream Doughnut, Tiramisu Loaf and a Pain Suisse.
