First Aid for Kids

First Aid Kit
In our family, summertime is when most of our injuries occur, but we have to be prepared all year long. After all, with two toddler boys, it’s nearly impossible to avoid booboos. If we are not prepared our kids could end up very unhappy, and when they’re unhappy, we’re unhappy.
I have compiled a list of items that are very important to have within moments of an injury. Whether you are at the playground, a friend’s house or even outside at home, a first aid kit is a necessity. You can find a very inexpensive empty case at a dollar store or other discount store. I highly recommend placing the following in a “kit” of sorts.
- Band-Aids in a variety of sizes, preferably character, colorful and fun ones
- Gauze pads in a variety of sizes
- Antibiotic ointment
- Antibacterial wipes
- Antibacterial hand sanitizer
- Anti-itch lotion
- Burn gel
- Tweezers
- Thermometer
- Instant cold packs
In addition, I always carry suntan lotion, bug spray, Wet-Ones and tissues in my vehicle.
If building your own first aid kit seems daunting, you can buy great “already prepared” kits. I have found one of the best sites for kid’s first aid kits to be www.mypreciouskid.com/first-aid-kit.html.
Be safe!
