Mum reveals genius trick for keeping your kids happy during a supermarket shop using two pegs and an ice cube tray

A MUM revealed her creative trick for keeping your kids happy during a supermarket shop using just two pegs and an ice cube tray.

The incredible and oh so simple hack was shared to a Facebook group and its users went wild for the 'genius' tip.

Most mothers are all too aware of how difficult it is to do the weekly shop with your kids in tow.

Some even resort to arranging alternate babysitting to allow them to get the grocery shopping done.

But now it turns out you can kill two birds with one stone – and it's all thanks to some basic, and not to mention cheap, household items.

Mum Lauren shared a 'genius' hack to distract the kids and get them to comply – and it's all thanks to some pegs and an ice cube tray.

All you need to do is attach an ice tray featuring yummy snacks to the front of the supermarket trolley.

The goods will serve as distraction, allowing you to complete the task hassle free!

Lauren suggests filling the tray with cereal, dried fruit and rice cakes, as she put it:

"When snacks are life, we shop with a whole buffet."

And it looks like it's foolproof, all it takes for Lauren is "One giant ice cube tray full of snacks and two stroller clips kept my little one happy the entire trip!"

After sharing the pic of the tip in action, Lauren's hack was quickly hailed as a "great idea."

With some even going so far as to deem it "next level."

One fellow group member who clearly appreciated the tip, wrote: "What a great hack for shopping with the little ones! Wish I fit in the trolley seat and could snack while shopping haha."

And if you're in desperate need of a tactic to distract your tots, then look no further!
