Emergency Comfort Kit for Kids

What to Include:

• Favorite toy or stuffed animal

• Small blanket or pillow

• Snacks they like and can eat without prep

• Drawing materials or sticker book

• Family photo or reassuring note

Tips for Creating It:

• Let your child help pack it so they feel ownership

• Store it where it’s easy to grab in an emergency

• Revisit and update the kit every few months

Visuals and Routines:

• Include a simple visual routine: “We’ll go here, and we’ll stay together”

• Laminate a basic plan with pictures and emergency contacts

When everything else is out of their control, this gives kids something familiar, soft, and safe.
