72 Hour Kits
Explain to your children the importance of being prepared just in case there's ever an emergency. Ask them to think of things that they might need to keep their families warm, safe and healthy for three days if they ever had to be away from their homes. Write their ideas down and circle the most important items.
List should include:
Food
Water
Candles
Flashlight
Matches
Clothes
Blanket
Batteries
First Aid Kit
(You may also add toys/magazines)
Find a duffel bag and have children work together to gather the items on the list and pack them into the bag. (Let them choose their own food and entertainment items) Explain the important uses for each of the items in the 72 hour kit.
They'll love being involved in the process and will gain a better understanding of the importance of being prepared!
