Mini First Aid Kit - Make mini first aid kits in 35 mm film containers to put in their backpacks for school. We are putting in: Band-aids, two quarters, cough drop, needle, thread wrapped around cardboard (maybe a little floss wrapped around too for when things get stuck in your teeth during lunch), tissues, safety pins, alcohol wipe, emergency phone numbers on small paper or contact numbers.

Fruity First Aid - Involve the girls on this first aid demonstration.  You remember things better when you do them instead of hear about them.  Have each girl help with a demonstration. 

Another Mini First Aid Kit - We made a first-aid kit for each girl using empty Altoid mint tins. They hold a little more than the film canisters. We included: band aids, wet wipe tissue, 50 cents for a phone call, hair elastic, safety pins, small chapstick, life saver candy.  We gave them each a card that was cut to fit in the inside of the lid of the tin. It had a place for their name, home address, 911 Emergency number, directions on making a collect call, and listed parents' work numbers, cell phone numbers, and emergency contact people.  We also gave them a list of optional items they could add at home. House key, nail clippers, Tylenol, cough drop, needle and thread, button, and shoelace.  We made a sticker to put on the outside of the lid that said "First Aid Kit". The girls enjoyed the activity and were excited to put the kit in their backpacks. (Idea by Cory Wood)

Teddy Bear First Aid - I just went to the pharmacy and said that I needed to speak to someone about seeing if I could possibly get some items donated, for some first aid kits that I was making with a group of girls that I teach, in a program through our church that is similar to Girl Scouts.  They went back and talked to the pharmacist who sent for the manager of the store. He asked me some questions and then went and got a bunch of sample sized items about 4 different items for each of my girls! I added some more things and then we put them in zip-loc baggies. It was great!  Then I got an Emergency Rescue Video from the library and we watched it. I stopped the tape after each segment and we practiced on our own teddy bears.
