Just for the kids

[Taz Baby]

I looked everywhere I think to find a thread for just the kids and couldn't find one so here ya go. I thought we needed someplace where we can post things for the kids. Ii will start it out.

Here is a fool proof recipe for making bubbles. I have used this one many years for my kids.

needed for your child or children.

Update your child's bug out bag every six months (put a note in your calendar/planner) to make sure that: all food, water, and medication is fresh and has not expired; clothing fits.
Small toys/games are important too as they will provide some comfort and entertainment during a stressful time.
Older children can be responsible for their own pack of items/clothes too.
Every child's backpack should have a laminated page with parents' names and phone numbers, home address, local emergency contact people as well as one or more who are further away (a grandmother or other relative out of state). If a child gets separated from parents during an emergency, this information is vital.

Here are more idea's


Flash light
Emergency whistle (clipped to the outside of pack so they can easily find it if they become separated from you)
Laminated emergency contact list with name, home address, and telephone numbers.
Pre-paid cell phone
Poncho
Extra socks, pair of gloves and knit hat or bandana (depending on your climate)
Dust mask
Goggles
Small pocket knife for the older kids
Band aids & wipes
Small bottle of hand sanitizer

Comfort Items

Stuffed animals
A couple small light weight toys
Pack of playing cards or travel size games
Baseball or small Nerf football
Harmonica
An Ipod or small device to play games and listen to music
