A problem which I hope someone can assist with,
when doing an ice cream run, how do you keep the ice-cream from melting?
I can't do it any faster, I have tried sitting the ice-cream bucket in a tray of ice, nothing seems to work.
How do others overcome this issue?

Hi Bobbie
When we served ice cream we had a lot of the staff helping so that the ice cream would not melt

We have used a cooler when serving ice cream down the halls in our facility.

I cant rate this site high enough. The activities and ideas are fantastic, varied and very relevant to our service. I log on every morning to see what's new and I'm always printing and using your materials. Honestly the best site I know of to provide activities for older people.
