Hi members im just trying to revamp our lolly trolley and I would love to hear what other facilities have on theirs and where they source their products from.
We have this as well, it's named the Lolly Trolley Dollies, how fun. It does make a bit of money which we use to aid resources for new activities, works well so far.
We also have a shopping trolley and when marking the prices on the objects, we have a guessing game to see who can guess the correct price.

we are also running a trolley weekly for our residents but also with our prizes we have bingo dollars so they get to purchase from the trolley using both bingo dollars and real money, the residents are asking for the the bingo dollars to be an option for other things tht we have prizes in so they always have free money.
Golden Carers is a phenomenal and creative resource of activities for the senior population and people with dementia. They also provide resources and support for the caregiver too. I liked all the different types of activities that were available. You could pick and choose from a plethora of items the activities appropriate for your group. Keep on doing what you are doing.
