THE weather has been scorching lately, and if you have been struggling to keep kids entertained, a £9.99 purchase may solve both issues.
A mum shared how she picked up a bargain splash pad from TikTok Shop, which her child was obsessed with.
Livia, who posts under @livia_tov, uploaded a clip showing how she picked up the inflatable item for under a tenner.
The yellow round pad has a wave edge and is decorated by fun aquatic creatures.
Describing it as 'absolutely humongous', she said it is perfect for a 'few hours of peace.'
In a clip, she shared: 'How brilliant is this sprinkle pad? I love it. Just £9.99.'
'My son is nearly 5 and he's really tall, and this fits a lot. A couple of kids, I would say.
Look at how brilliant it is.'
All you need to do is inflate the edge, and then attach a hose to the nozzle.
When you turn the water on, it squirts water sprinkles around the outside, and you can also create a mini pool in the middle too.
She continued: 'And then you've got the splash pad, which is inside there. And look, it's actually quite deep as well, so absolutely amazing.
'If you wanna keep the sprinklers on, or if you just wanna turn them off, it can be used as a paddling pool.'
I bought two splash pads from Temu and TikTok shop for £9.99 for my kids to compare - one of them is HUGE for the price
She said you can add water toys to make the pool more exciting for kids, but said it is 'honestly so fun'.
In the caption, she wrote: 'Amazing for this heatwave, so glad I got this last month.
'We use ours with and without the hose and it's amazing.'

People were quick to comment, with one saying they also loved theirs.
They wrote: 'My granddaughter loves her, best tenner I've ever spent.'
It's not the only water item that is proving to be a big hit this summer.
SPLASH SUCCESS

A mum has revealed she bought two splash pads from Temu and TikTok shop for her kids to compare, and one was a clear winner.
Kassie shared how the Temu pad cost £10 and the TikTok shop one cost £9.99, so they were similar prices to compare.
However, they were very different in size.
On her @_kassieg account, the mum shared: 'Temu one cost £10, my mum got it and expected it to be bigger and that is what we got.
'TikTok shop [product] cost £9.99 with free delivery and is bloody massive!!'

Celebs Go Dating fans stunned as Love Island star make shock appearance - and instantly comes between livid Olivia Hawkins and Louis Russell

Celebs Go Dating fans were left speechless as a former Love Island star made a glamorous entrance onto the show this week - instantly coming between Olivia Hawkins and her latest match, Louis Russell. Former Love Island star Olivia, 30, and Too Hot To Handle 's Louis, 24, immediately hit it off after they landed in Ibiza to film the E4 dating show and shared a smooch. However, during Monday evening's instalment, their connection was put to the test as Louis went on a date with a gorgeous brunette, who was later revealed to be Jazmine Nichol. Jazmine entered the Casa Amor Love Island villa in 2022 as a bombshell; however, she failed to find a spark with any of the boys and was dumped from the villa. During the episode, not many viewers picked up on the Love Island crossover, however, one eagle-eyed viewer flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share where they recognised her from. They wrote: 'Louis' date Jasmine was literally a Casa Amor girl in Love Island a few years ago, 'You didn't hear her say one word and she was gone in about three days. It's the same desperate wannabes. #CelebsGoDating,' they concluded while blasting the star. Jazmine's bombshell entrance comes as her Celebs Go Dating date Louis, has moved on with a Love Island USA beauty. Meanwhile, Olivia has reportedly exchanged 'flirty' messages with a star from TOWIE, according to The Sun. In a previous Instagram post shared by Celebs Go Dating, Olivia revealed her soft spot for Pete Wicks, 36. While playing a game of 'Which celeb do you fancy more?', Olivia kept dropping hints that Pete is the only one she currently has her eyes on. Commenting on the video after, she joked: 'Think Pete might get a restraining order after this.' Pete replied to her comment with 'stay away from me' and a melting face and laughing emoji. Louis and Liv had a very strong connection on the hit E4 show, and things between the pair got steamy in a short matter of time. During the episode, not many viewers picked up on the Love Island crossover, however, one eagle-eyed viewer flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share where they recognised her from A show insider told The Sun at the time: 'It usually takes a few weeks for things to spice up, but not with these two. 'Within 48 hours of arriving in Ibiza, the sexual spark between them was obvious. They concluded: 'They clearly couldn't resist each other.' Now it seems that Olivia has moved on, and so has Louis with Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa. Earlier this month, the reality TV stars made their red carpet debut at the Weapons World Premiere. Celebs Go Dating airs on E4 from Monday to Thursday at 9pm.

Drag Race stars fight back tears as they pay tribute to late The Vivienne in trailer for new documentary

DRAG Race stars are seen fighting back tears as they pay tribute to The Vivienne in the trailer for a new documentary about the late star. James Lee Williams, 32, died from a cardiac arrest caused by the effects of taking the drug, it was revealed earlier this year. 10 10 10 10 The TV star, who won the first series of RuPaul 's Drag Race UK, was was found dead in the bath at home near Chester on January 5. James, who went by the pronouns they/them, was discovered by a neighbour after worried friends were unable to get hold of them. Now the first trailer for The Vivienne 's new documentary, which pays tribute to the much-loved star, has been released. Called Dear Viv, the BBC film celebrates the life of James and also hears from people who knew and loved them. The touching doc features interviews with their Drag Race friends, including Raja, Danny Beard, Michael Marouli, Cheryl Hole, Tia Kofi, and Baga Chipz. In one particular heartbreaking moment, Raja is seen attempting to hold back tears while preparing to speak to the cameras. Celebrity Big Brother star Danny Beard is also shown breaking down when asked to speak about James. The tear-jerking trailer comes to an end with a message from Viv, who is heard saying: "It's really nice to show people that you are a real person under all that glamour." FAMILY'S GRIEF In April, James' sister Chanel Williams opened about how their family "continue to be completely devastated". In a BBC Newsnight special, she candidly shared that the drag queen legend had hidden their substance struggles for years. Heartbreaking new details of The Vivienne's ketamine struggle revealed by family Chanel told how they only discovered James' addiction after they opened up about it on RuPaul's Drag Race in 2019. At the time, the drag star said: "I couldn't leave the drugs at the party, it was constant." They bravely revealed how Ketamine use saw them hospitalised three times in the space of a month. The Vivienne was commended at the time for raising awareness of substance abuse while appearing on the show. 10 10 Despite staying sober for period of time, James' family were unaware they had relapsed shortly before his death. Chanel told the BBC: "Had I asked the questions or just looked for the signs, would the outcome be different?' "He was at the height of everything he was doing and I think because he'd said it in such an open platform, it's really difficult to come back and say you're struggling again." The grieving sibling also questioned whether James' fame made them feel they had to hide away amid their relapse. Chanel continued: "To think that if we'd known, or if he'd have felt able to talk and really reach out for the help that was needed, the outcome could've been different." The family are now workin to raise awareness around the dangers of Ketamine - and see it changed to a Class A drug. Ketamine is used by vets as a horse anaesthetic but is misused as a party drug. STAR CAREER James shot to fame six years ago, when they won the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. The drag star went on to compete in an all-winners season of the franchise in the US in 2022 - the only Brit to do so. James also starred on BBC Three show The Vivienne Takes On Hollywood in 2020 and appeared on Channel 4 's Celebrity Hunted For Stand Up To Cancer two years then came third place on Dancing on Ice in 2023. 10 10
