A DOTING mum has shared the genius way she uses step stools from IKEA for her two children.
Instead of forking out loads of money on a small table and chairs for her kids, @budgetingmum bought £25 TENHULT stools from the retailer.
“Watch how I use these IKEA stools in our house,” she started her simple clip, before revealing she’s the mother of a one year old and a three year old.
“They make the perfect little portable table and chairs…” she went on to say about the tiny stepladders.
The TikTok user added: “…as well as using them for a step so they can help with cooking and things to get up on the side."
In the caption, she wrote: “Ikea hack! These £25 Ikea stools are so useful in our house!

Another shared their sweet idea as they said: “So cute! You could put them opposite each other and have a little dinner date”.

“So much cheaper than a learning tower!” another exclaimed, to which the mum replied: “Absolutely! I’ve seen someone alter them too to make them have a frame like the learning tower x”.
A sixth warned: “Have you thought about removable slip mats for when it’s a stool? I would have totally fallen off as a kid, but that’s just me”.
The TikTok mum replied: “They’re never unsupervised”.
