There’s 50% off baby pools and ballpits at Tesco Direct. These are end of season ranges, and while you might not use it for swimming for a while, there are often great deals on ball pit balls, which are also a great, fun alternative.

• Have fun in the baby pool

There’s a variety of pools for this one - Monkeys, a gorgeous and bright Sunflower pool and a rather understated flower shaped baby pool.

There’s another fun pool, the Jungle Spray pool, which has jungle graphics and palm trees for a supporting a leafy sunshade. If you connect the hose to the cool water sprayer ‘rain’ will fall from the leaves.

Reviews for these pools are generally pretty great, with people saying that it’s easy to put up, quick to fill and ideal for a small baby.  There were a few issues with it deflating overnight, and not being particularly sturdy for pulling up on.

Other comments worth noting are that the pools are easy to use in the house or the garden, and that its dual purpose ability makes it suitable for year round play.

Tesco Direct are selling this Aeroplane Ball Pit for £4.95 instead of...well, I don't know instead of how much because they don't say.

However, the other ball pits on the Tesco Direct website are around the £15 mark, so this is a nice little price for a little ball pit, even if it happens to be the rrp.

What can I tell you about it...?

Erm...it's a little inflatable pit in the shape of an aeroplane. You'll need to inflate it yourself either using your own lung power or a suitable foot pump and you can fill the pit bit with plastic balls *grin*

You'll have to excuse my 'funny' mood this morning but, seriously, how much can you say about an Aeroplane ball pit?

I can't find ANY information anywhere to suggest whether the Aeroplane ball pit comes complete with plastic balls or not - hopefully it'll be clear on the box, so when you collect it from your local Tesco (as there's NO point paying £5 for home delivery) you can pick up some balls if not.

The age range for the Aeroplane ball pit is 2 years onwards; not sure why not younger than 2 years old, I can't see any small parts or reason why younger littlies couldn't enjoy this too.
