A great product for the kids this summer is the Sand and Picnic Table from Robert Dyas. This adaptable table is both useful and extremely entertaining! This table will look fantastic in the garden, and the kids will just love eating their lunch or dinner on it. It is a perfect size, and is ideal for little gardens.

The kids can sit for hours, drawing or doing their arts and craft on it. My two boys really love the new addition our garden. They will sit for ages, doodling away, which makes the table a huge bonus for the parents (because if your kids are anything like mine, they never sit still!).
Then, for extra entertainment, simply remove the centre wooden panel and the picnic table turns into a sandpit. How fantastic is that! The sand pit provides hours of fun for kids and encourage outdoor play and exercise. Let your kid’s creativity run wild, digging, building and making unique shapes in the sand. I will guarantee that all kids will love it!

Are you looking for something that will keep the kids busy this summer? Then Robert Dyas has the perfect solution for you: - a 6ft blue trampoline and enclosure.

Every child, without a doubt, will absolutely love this. They will want to get out first thing in the morning to bounce around, and will want to stay out as long as their little legs can hold them! And, do you know what that will result in? Yes, you got it, very tired little kiddies, who will drift of to sleep at night, without any arguments. A dream for many parents!
I was really excited when my trampoline arrived, as I knew my boys would just love it. It arrives in a flat pack, so you must build it yourself. I thought that this would be really difficult to do, but, was surprised when my other half and me got it assembled safely in just under an hour. The trampoline really is so easy to assemble, I think even a complete novice would have no difficulty with it. We assembled it in the evening when the boys were asleep, and they could not contain their excitement when they first saw it in the morning. I have never seen them get dressed and have their breakfast as fast, ever! They have so much fun on it, and you will be guaranteed to hear much laughter. The best sound in the world!
This Trampoline is sure to provide hours of fun for the kids all throughout the year. Not only this, but the trampoline is ideal for young children to increase their confidence gradually as they learn to trampoline, providing the most important exercise needed for them.

I love the Balloopa, it is pure fun. A loose homage to 1980s Swingball, but with a football slant, this is going to be massive!
The World Cup is coming and once again, we as a Nation are asking “What if?” We never learn! Maybe The Fabio factor will turn us into World Champs and Rooney is on fire at the moment, so who knows?
But after Rooney, we need to think about our youth. With it’s emphasis on promoting better accuracy whilst still being a lot of fun, maybe the Balloopa will help our chances in 2014.
But going back to the swingball, The Balloopa is much the same. Instead of a tennis ball, there is a football. So you and your mate can pass away at your hearts content. Unlike Swingball, The Balloopa gives you a chance for some accuracy and shooting practice.
You can get the Balloopa from TP Toys, specialists in Outdoor toys and climbing frames for £19.99.
I bet Becks has one of these in his back yard, you can imagine him shooting through the hoop every time.
The ball is attached using a clever 360degree spinner, which means no tangled string, no running for the ball and no broken windows.
Basically, It’s addictive. it’s football and it’s a great training tool. AND very entertaining.
