In case you haven't looked at the weather forecast for the next two weeks, it's set to get warmer out there – and there's a half term coming up (how can we forget?). So, a kids paddling pool would be a very smart buy right now. Need more convincing? You can even get use out of it – for dipping your feet in to cool down – or if you have a balcony instead of a garden, a mini paddling pool is the perfect size. Buy a paddling pool now to avoid being in a rut next week, when everyone in the UK will be trying to source a paddling pool of some sort to cool down. That and a fan, new BBQ... the list goes on.
Instead of spending your money on eyesore kids paddling pools that will ruin your garden aesthetic – and they don't exactly look the prettiest in photos you want to treasure forever – buy one of these cute paddling pools below. Our Shopping Editor has found everything from a glittery paddling pool to a terrazz0-effect one, a polka dot paddling pool and much more. Prices start from an affordable £14.99, too. Don't leave it until the last minute like always: we're here to help you be prepared...
