Ultimate Kid Friendly First Aid Kit

August 26, 2013 By: mytaleswithtwo2 Comments

Kid Friendly First Aid Kit

As you may know, I used to work for the Girl Scouts, and through my experience with them, learning to “be prepared” became a way of life.  Now as a mom, I like to make sure I have everything on hand – expecting the unexpected.

When it came time to make a First Aid Kit for my car, I knew I wanted it to be complete, kid friendly, easily organized, and portable.  And inexpensive – you can’t forget that part!  While you might be able to buy a better commercial version, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better home made first aid kit anywhere!

I started with an old cosmetic case (this one was once filled with makeup as an Ulta Set).  I like that the platforms slide out to make everything instantly accessible without having to dig through a bag.

First Aid Kit for Kids

While the case is great, closing securely and easily carried with a sturdy handle, it’s what’s inside that really matters!  One of my favorite inclusions is my threaded stacking tubes I picked up for $1 each from Target.  Inside I have a little pharmacy of pain relievers to keep us feeling comfortable where ever we go!

Kid Friendly First Aid Kit Contents

What’s in my kit?

Medicines:

1 – Stacking Tubes with Tylenol, Aleve, Asprin and Ibuprophin, Exlax, Immodium, Pepto, Tums, and Allergy Pills

2 – Emetrol for Nausea – This syrup is great for easing queasy stomachs for both kids and adults.

3 – Baby Tylenol or Ibuprofen for fevers or pain

4 – Dramamine for Motion Sickness

First Aid:

5 – Bandaids and Gauze Pads of all shapes and sizes including printed band aids for kids!

6 – Alcohol and No Sting Cleansing Pads

7 – Paper Soap for Washing Wounds

8 – Gauze Wrap for burns or wounds

9 – Ace Bandage for twists and sprains

10 – Medical Tape for holding gauze

11 – First Aid Spray (for Kids) Cream (for us)

12 – Plastic Gloves

13 – Instant Ice Pack

14 – Tweezers for Splinters

Fevers:

15 – Be Koool Fever Sheets:  We absolutely love these as they not only help reduce fevers, but are very soothing to sick little ones, or adults with headaches.

16 – Thermometer

Baby Care:

17 – Q-Tips and Baby Nail Files

18 – Diaper Rash Cream:  We like the samples we got with formula samples when the kids were newborns.

19 – A&D Ointment

Skin and Stings:

20 – Topical Benadryl for Kids

21 – After Bite for Kids

22 – Sting Soothers

23 – Sunscreen Stick (since we always forget)

24 – Baby Powder for chafing

Eyes:

25 – Contact Case and Solution for Mom (could also be used as an emergency eye wash)

It’s a tight squeeze – but it’s all in there!  What’s in your first aid kit for kids?  Leave a comment and we’ll add it to our list!

A few disclaimers:  I am not a medical professional, and therefore this list is not provided as medical advice.  I do keep my kit in the car, and while I acknowledge that heat and sun can reduce the efficiency of medicines, we feel that having a less effective product is better than not having it with us at all.  Our car is typically in a weathered garage so less damage is done.  I am aware that medical professionals recommend keeping medicines in original, child-proof containers, but believe that our case is kept safely out of tiny hands for the time being.

    Oh quite good any ways I kept my home first aid kit in a wall bracket where it will give access to adults not for kids.
