No Messy Ice Cream Eating Around Here...

I remember months ago, Kikimiss blogged about these holders for ice creams for 'little hands'. I thought they were a nifty idea but never did anything about actually buying one. Pretty typical of me, I must say.

Last week, when out with my parents at one of the local shopping plazas, we stopped to get a 'milkshake' each. (That's what you do with your Grandparents don't you? Go out and buy milkshakes?) Anyway, as we sat at the shop slurping away, I noticed they were selling ice-cream cone holders for a measly $2. They are along the same line as the Dripstik ones, which is why I purchased one.

It got put to good use on Sunday.

Sunday saw us all pile in Lyndon's car and drive up to Port Douglas for a look around and some lunch (which we had at the ever-faithful-good-value-for-money Courthouse Hotel, the big white Hotel on the corner, if you know Port!) After playing at the park at The Point (again), the only way to get Monet off the play equipment was a promise of an ice cream. A big chocolate ice cream. (Yeah, I know all these reports have come out saying parents shouldn't bribe their children, but hey, everyone does, don't they?) Perfect opportunity to use the ice cream holder.


Do you think she enjoyed it? You'd be correct in thinking yes, she did.

And did the holder work? Yes, it did.

She might have got ice cream on her face but there was no dripping onto her clothes, legs etc.,

Two bucks well spent I'd say. Even if I forget to take it with me ever again (which is possible) at least she used it once and it worked.
