As I write this, we have had close on two weeks of gorgeous, sunny, hot weather. The end of April is often, in my experience, warm and sunny. But it isn't usually so hot. Is this is a sign of the summer to come? I can hardly dare hope. But it wouldn't hurt to be prepared.

What you need is a paddling pool. A garden toy like this Nursery Play Centre with Ball Ramp is a great way to cool little ones down when it gets too hot.

Made of vinyl, the pool measures 159cm high by 159cm wide and 89cm deep. Although there's not a lot of information on the website, it is available elsewhere. According to another site, it has a ring toss with three inflatable rings included, and an inflatable ball ramp to roll balls up and down. Six game balls are also included. It comes with a repair patch kit.

The Summer Infant Digital Video Baby Monitor is £134.99 at Amazon, a saving of £45.

• Keep an eye on your little one with the video monitor from Summer

I must admit, I've never had much luck with Summer products. I had one of their fetal heart rate monitors with which I never picked up anything, and their first ever video baby monitor, which didn't work if you had WIFI or a microwave in the house.

Judging by the 5-star comments on this monitor, however, they have sorted out their issues. The reviewers – albeit only two – love it.

The screen has a large 9cm colour display with black and white night vision with easy to use touch screen display and menu controls. The camera is a 'pan and tilt' camera, meaning it can be moved around to a position that suits you, and with additional cameras you can keep tabs on the inhabitants of four different rooms on one monitor.

The battery has a 10-hour lifespan before needing recharging.

The reviewers on Amazon have left lengthy comments with a lot of information, so well worth a read if you're thinking of buying.

Anyone for an ice lolly? How do you fancy making your own with this cute lolly-making set from the Great Little Trading Centre?

These no-mess lolly makers are cup shaped at the base to catch any drips, with a straw to help little lolly fans suck up all the melted juice at the end. They're dishwasher safe and measure 16cmH.

At £6.00 for a set of four ice lolly moulds you'll have saved your money on these in no time, plus you can make healthy lollies with only natural ingredients, if you so wish.

I have a set of similarly-designed lolly moulds and the little straw part is ingenious and means that even little tots can wander about with their lollies without getting in a sticky mess.

Yum!

I know we keep saying that Spring has sprung, and perhaps if we keep saying it we might even start to believe it. But what better way to convince yourself that summer is on its way than with some new footwear to get the new season going? Sports Direct have a cracking offer on crocs just now, down to £5 for junior sizes and £10 for adults ones.

Crocs seem to divide opinion even more than politics does. Love em or loathe them, they're absolutely perfect for children in the summer. I love that my lads can get them on and off without my help and they're brilliant for wearing on the beach or for playing in the garden when the paddling pool is out because it doesn't matter if they get soaked. But they offer a bit more protection to little toes than plain old flipflops or sandals and a pair of cosy socks transforms them easily when the evening draws in.

As for adults wearing Crocs, I'm not going to comment beyond admitting that it is a fashion crime of which I am guilty but seriously, once you've slipped your dainty feet into the unrivalled comfort of a pair of Crocs on a hot day, well, it's hard to give them up.

There are loads of sizes and styles in this sale and you can search according to size and colour as well as other criteria, making it an easy process.

Standard delivery is £3.99 while premium is £5.99 and applies if you place your order before 2pm for next day delivery Monday to Thursday.

I don't know about you but in our neck of the woods we're already feeling summery. Yesterday we walked on the beach, dragged the garden furniture out of hibernation and even stopped the ice cream van for a cold treat after tea. So what better way to keep the summer buzz going than with up to £100 off summer and outdoor toys at Mothercare?!

You can save 30% off the usual price of this baby wetsuit, now £13.99, down from £19.99. It's for babies aged 3-6 months and according to Mothercare is ideal for baby swimming lessons, as it keeps baby warmer in the water for longer while the nylon outer layer makes it significantly easier to carry a wet and wriggly baby!

My lads loved being in the water from when they were just weeks old so if you're expecting a baby this summer, this could be a tidy little investment, and items like this tend to re-sell for decent prices on sites like Folk.

There's also 50% off this funky foam hopscotch game, which is reduced from £15.00 to £7.50. The foam shapes are easy to slot together, making it transportable and suitable for use both indoors and outdoors.

According to Mothercare it's suitable for children aged 3 and upwards, and can even help little people get to grips with co-ordination and counting.
