Kids off school because of the heatwave? These Prime Day deals will keep them cool and entertained

Forget running under your neighbours' sprinklers, this splash pad will make you the envy of the street. It's one of the cheapest I can find discounted for Prime Day and comes in various sizes. Disclaimer: I accept no liability for pets who suddenly forget whose splash pad it is.

Got kids running around the house, and four-legged friends too? This foldable paddling pool is going to be a hit with both. There's no pump needed either, just lay it outside, turn on the hose, and everyone's happy, especially you with this 25% saving.

I've collected a few tricks to survive the heat since growing up in Australia, and ice lolly moulds are one of my favourite. Easy to make and refreshing to eat, these moulds are ideal for the summer. You can experiment with countless ice lolly recipes too, but my top tip is to make some with actual fruit chunks for a twist. There are plenty of options discounted on Amazon right now, but this 35% off saving is the cheapest I've found.

Who doesn't love Moana? LEGO's Kakamora barge is on sale for Prime Day and comes with a catapult, zipline, and playable drum, plus it can be split into three separate vessels. The set also comes with a Moana and Maui boat and figures, making it a perfect distraction from the heat.

This World Cup-inspired set looks cool enough from the outside, but inside is where the fun really starts — crack the football open to find a full, miniaturised stadium inside. Just don't let the kids try and start an actual game with it...

This fun Super Mario Lego set has a removable top, which can 'fly' around independently and even shoot fireballs at intruders. There's a Prince Florian trapped in a cell inside, ready to be rescued. Amazon has knocked 24% off the list price for Prime members.

The Nex Playground is a cheap gaming console that comes pre-loaded with a selection of games geared towards younger players. It's the perfect choice if you're shopping for those aged five to ten, who might need some distracting from the heat.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is discounted right now in the UK, though it still costs more than the Playground. It's certainly worth it if you can spare the extra money though, as it is more powerful and offers a more traditional gaming console experience with a wider variety of games.

Don't want your kids in front of a screen for too long? Don't miss out on this fantastic deal for the Catan (6th Edition) boardgame. It is currently available at Amazon for a highly competitive price that you won't ever regret forking out for. This offers lifelong family entertainment that won't ever falter.

This small yet powerful desk fan is a great buy while it's dropped below £30 for Prime Day. While its smaller size means it won't be the most powerful option out there, it does mean it'll easily fit on a side table or your desk and keep you at a comfortable temperature.

Loved by Amazon customers far and wide, Levoit extends its air care products from the best air purifiers to fans, and this one in particular earned praise for its low noise level and good cooling capacity. This smart fan offers 12 fan speeds, four modes, can be controlled with the VeSync app or voice control.

Dyson's first handheld fan sold out almost instantly last month, so if you're tired of feeling sticky and uncomfortable, this is your opportunity to grab one and enjoy a cooling breeze anywhere. Only the Stone/Blush colorway is available, though.

In June, the Creami Scoop and Swirl dropped to its lowest-ever price of £265 at Amazon, so this £80-off deal is a pretty close call for the best deal we've seen on one of our top summer picks. We scored it 4 stars in our review, praising its delicious results, ease of use, and 13 different settings.

This weather makes an ice-cold drink extremely appealing right now, and the unique Ninja Slushi just fell back to its Black Friday price at Amazon. This kitchen appliance makes all sorts of chilled and frozen drinks, including juices, cocktails, milkshakes, and more. We loved it in our Ninja Slushi review, praising its ability to make quick and delicious drinks easily in a fun and entertaining package.

Still want smoothies and slushies without the spending over £100? This over £20 price reduction on this well-scoring blender is an absolute treat. The build quality and performance impressed us when we tested it, and the fact that it's even cheaper than it was on Black Friday makes this an even sweeter deal.
