Creating a Boo Boo Bag

By Melinda Gill June 28, 2019


Our little one is known for lots of super fun things and some not so fun... knee scrapes! Oh yeah, if there is a sidewalk to be run down you will catch our 4-year-old running at full speed. After several incidents in which we grabbed anything we could find to wipe the area clean we realized we needed a First Aid Kit in the car... then we realized (after an incident involving a piece of glass at the local lake and her tiny foot) we needed even more... Introducing the BOO BOO BAG!

  • One super cute embroidered Zipper Pouch
  • Neosporin Wound Cleansing Foam for Kids (LOVE this stuff… works like peroxide without the scary worrisome part; our kiddo laughs when it foams up!)
  • Neosporin Neo to Go! Antiseptic Pain Relieving Spray (Love these little “on the go” aids!)
  • Benadryl Readymist Itch Stopping Spray (A little spritz stops the itch!)
  • A variety of “your kid will love these” regular and waterproof Band-Aids for all size boo-boos; kept in an empty Crystal Light plastic container.
  • Waterproof bandage tape to hold the larger boo-boos gauze pad in place. (Ya just never know.)
  • Tylenol and Motrin (ok, ok... that’s for us parents.)
  • Pack of tissues
  • Bottle of antibacterial spray
  • Sunscreen (We California folks shouldn’t leave home without it!)
  • Nail clipper, nail file, and tweezers (ya never know when your little one will get a splinter…or you chip a nail.)
  • BEACH DAYS: We add a small bottle of rubbing alcohol and meat tenderizer to the bag. (Praying we never have a need for these, but they stop the sting of jellyfish! Trust me… I know!)
