A mum has revealed the 16p item she always takes on holiday to keep her children entertained.
Samantha Brown took to social media to share the cheap and cheerful toy that is perfect for when youngsters 'need to work off a lot of pent up energy'. Posting to her Tik Tok account @samanthabrowntravels, the travel show presenter said: "When my kids were really young, I used to always travel with a few uninflated balloons.
"This is a great toy, it takes up no room in your bag and it can be instantly inflated when a child needs to work off a lot of pent up energy, which is a lot. It's better than a ball because you can hit a balloon as hard as you want and it never travels that far and it really doesn't harm anything. When you travel you just have a lot of long waits ahead of you.
