Sick Day Kits for Kids

This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. All thoughts and reviews are my own. This time of year means that we are gearing up to fight off the sick germs that frequently circulate through our home. My kids are in public school as well as participate in dance, music, sports, and other activities so this means they are not only exposed to a lot of germs but also bring them home. I try my best to teach them to wash their hands frequently, use sanitizer when available and not to touch their face, but kids are kids and they occasionally bring home the sick germs we all dread. Having meds like Children’s Advil®on hand are lifesavers for me.

I can’t place it all on them because sometimes it is my fault too despite our hard work to avoid them, but regardless of who brings the germs home, I still get to deal with it once they are here. This is why I have my sick day kits ready for when my kids are sick, so I can spend time taking care of them and not have to worry about what to use or what they will do. I have two kits (but if you have kids under AND over 6, you will want to change it up a bit). My kits are for kids ages 6-11 and ages 12+. You can add another one for kids ages 2-6, and I will list below some ideas for what you can put into each one.

Sick Day Kits for ages 2-3:

• Children’s Advil® Suspension
• Storybooks
• Crayons
• Coloring book
• Juice
• Crackers
• Soup
• Favorite Movie (you can copy/print out mini versions of the movies so they can just look at these to pick)
• Tissues
• Thermometer
• Special Socks
• Emergency Numbers (for mom and dad)
• Washcloth
• Lotion
• Get Well Cards/Notes (so you can make one for your kid and give it to them)

Sick Day Kits for ages 4-11:

• Children’s Advil® Suspension
• Children’s Robitussin®
• Children’s Dimetapp® Cold & Cough
• Puzzle Book
• Pencils, Crayons
• Tissues
• Juice

• Favorite Reading Books
• Thermometer
• Special Socks
• Emergency Numbers (for mom and dad)
• Washcloth
• sick bag
• Lotion
• Get Well Cards/Notes (so you can make one for your kid and give it to them)

The Children’s medications I listed are our favorites because I have used them for years and they are tried and true. They all are essential to help with different symptoms and with different ages, so be sure to check the carton for specific information on what they are used for and the dosage information.
