Three cool ways to keep kids entertained with ice cubes on hot summer days
Plus find out which supermarket has Birds Eye chicken burgers for less SUN SAVERS Three cool ways to keep kids entertained with ice cubes on hot summer days ON hot summer days, playing games using ice could be just the thing to keep kids chilled. There's lots of fun to be had with a pile of frozen cubes, and they hardly cost a thing. So for some icy fun, try these simple challenges . . . COOL FOR GROUPS: For a kids' party or if you've got a crowd over for the day, try an ice relay. Players pick up an ice cube with a spoon from one bowl then race to drop it in another, before running to let the next player go. The winning team is the one to transfer all their cubes and get back to the start first. Also, with a bit of preparation, you could set up a frozen bowling game. Freeze water in plastic water bottles to use as the bowling pins. Then, try to knock them down with a ball. FUN FOR ONE: Keep boredom at bay with some games kids can play on their own or with a friend. Give them a big bowl of ice cubes and a tray. Let them build a slippery tower on the tray and see how high they can make it until it collapses. For arty kids, get them to paint with coloured ice. Add food colouring to the water in an ice cube tray. Then, as it starts to freeze, add a lolly stick or toothpick to each cube to use as a handle. I save £2,500 every summer by planning kids' activities in JANUARY... here's how you can too Once they're frozen, tip the cubes on to a tray and use to paint on paper, watching as the colours melt and blend, making amazing patterns. MELTING MAGIC: Just the effect of ice melting can be magical to behold for little minds. Freeze small items in a tray of ice cubes then get your kids to excavate them as they melt. You could turn it into a nature trail, freezing herbs, flowers and leaves. Another idea is to freeze small toys so the little ones discover their favourites as the ice melts. Also fun is freezing little snacks — half grapes, blueberries and slices of apple can all be frozen in water. All prices on page correct at time of going to press.

As an absolute superfan of La Vieille Ferme, I spent many evenings sipping on a glass of its popular rosé offering last summer, when the wine was at its peak of popularity. However, Aldi has never disappointed when it comes to wine, and that's down to flavour as well as affordability.

I think it is a great summer staple, especially to share with friends and family at a summer occasion such as a picnic, barbeque or camping trip. The design of the box is very similar to the branding of La Vielle Ferme, as is its name Le Petit Poulet. When I poured myself a glass I noticed the colour, which was a blush with a tinge of orange.

The only difference I noticed was that it was slightly sweeter, which to me was actually a good addition to the wine. I think that given its affordability, that it is available in a box and that it is so similar to 'chicken wine', Le Petit Poulet is an absolute winner for me. If you're a wine fan that would love to get more wine for your money, then I'd certainly recommend trying Aldi's Le Petit Poulet in a box. I will be purchasing plenty of boxes for my summer plans.

And priced at £12.49 it's over £3 cheaper than the original, La Vieille Ferme Rosé Bag in a box, which scans for £15.50 per litre. While traditionally it's been lower grade wines that have been sold in boxes, expert Sam Caporn says boxes now have a much greater variety of wines on offer.

For example, boxed wine can stay fresh for considerably longer than bottled. 'There is usually a price advantage too, as you're not paying for heavy or expensive glass. And lastly, boxed wine tastes no different to bottled!' It's not just rosé that Aldi has got on offer but a collection of red and white boxed wines too. White-wine drinkers will be thrilled to know that the Cambala Sauvignon is scanning for just £13.99. Meanwhile, an intense Shiraz is flying off the shelves for as little as £13.99 for 2.25L.
