LOTS of parents will know that as soon as the paddling pool comes out in the summer, it isn’t always smooth sailing.
That’s because little ones often complain that the water inside is too cold, as they refuse to get in until it’s warmed up.
But now one smart mum has come up with a way to warm up the paddling pool water – for just 11p.
Unveiling her cheap hack on her social media profile, mum Autumn Grace said: “Do you know a mum or dad who could use this hack for the summer?”
Autumn, whose TikTok profile is @honestlyautumn, then went on to reveal that all parents need is a few black bin liners.
These can be bought from all supermarkets, with Tesco selling packets of 30 for just £1, meaning each bag is just 3p.

Autumn then lifted the lid on her nifty trick, as she demonstrated how it’s done in the video.
She explained: “This is one of the best mum hacks for the summer.
“If your pool water is too cold for your children, a quick and easy way to warm it up is by placing black trash bags over the top.”
Autumn gently placed each of the bags just over the top of the water, and waited for the sun to work its magic.
