The long sunny days are finally here, bringing with them the sticky heat, short-tempered fuses and the pressure of keeping the kids busy. Fear not! We understand it all too well and we’re here to help everyone get through the season. In this edit, we’ve compiled a list of summer essentials that should see the kiddies, and the parents, through to September (and beyond!)

We’ve curated this list from far and wide, bringing in classic, wooden toys that encourage imaginative play, durable hats to ward off the sun’s harmful rays and even an ice cream scoop that should last you a lifetime of drippy cones. Whatever your situation, whether you’re situated indoors or outdoors, this summer essentials edit will have you covered.
