IT can be hard to know how to keep kids entertained for the entire summer holidays - but one mum shared how she made a play park in her garden on a budget. The woman shared how she managed to pick up some play toys for their outdoor space for around £11. Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK , she posted photos of her bargain finds.

First up, the mum snapped up a sand and water table for just £5. The water toy is said to come with a sectioned table, a bucket, a watering can, a flower watering accessory, two tools and five sand moulds. It certainly looks like it could buy parents a few hours of peace and quiet.



Meanwhile, if you have competitive children, the second item could be for you. The mum shared how she got a swingball set for £6.25, which are suitable for kids aged four and above.
