I’m a mum – here’s how I kept my toddler fed, cool and entertained for just 95p | The Sun

KEEPING your child entertained can be tricky in the summer holidays, and even tougher if there’s a heatwave.

One savvy mum revealed how she feeds her son and also keeps him cool for just 95p by taking him to Ikea.

Manchester-based Sally Scott shared how she had solved the problem of keeping 14-month-old Joseph happy in the soaring temperatures.

She raved about her local Ikea in Tameside, Greater Manchester, which offers a Jungle Quest challenge so kids can find cuddly toy animals around the store.

And the best part is, any kids who find them all get free ice cream.

As well as being air conditioned, the store also has kids meals for 95p, which include a hot dinner, jelly, fruit and a soft drink.

Taking to the Facebook group Happy Days Out, she said: "Looking for a cheap air conditioned place to take the kids?? Ikea! 

“They are doing kids meals for 95p including a drink and piece of fruit throughout summer, portions are generous.

"Also noticed a 'jungle quest' activity where you have to spot cuddly toy animals round the store (this was in the Ashton branch) and you get a free ice cream of you find them all."

Many parents thought the idea was “brilliant”, with one saying: “Thank you! Think I'll head there tomorrow."

“The 95p children's meal deal is a bargain."
