bandaids in a variety of sizes. The most common injury for us is scraped knees, so we typically we need the biggest size. Sometimes they get a small cut on their fingers, so then the smallest size.

waterproof bandaids, useful if you are playing near water

blister pads – these are the most often used item in the kit, saving many hikes. It works like a second skin and pad, protecting the skin from rubbing and alleviating some pain

safety pins – to temporarily fix broken clothes and gear

hand sanitizer – useful after mid-trail toilet emergencies

flosser – my kids freak out if they get stuff stuck in their teeth

disinfectant spray for minor cuts – makes everyone feel like we did the right thing

allergy cream – for stinging nettle and bug bites, unfortunately used all the time

chewable ibuprofen – one of my kids gets frequent headaches, so this is essential

small sun cream – always in my pack in case I forget to bring the big bottle

tweezers to pull out splinters

lollipop to stop the screaming
