THiNK OUTSiDE BOXES helps prepare young explorers and teaches them basic survival knowledge before venturing into the great outdoors. First Aid is the third stop in the program, and we received the box to review. It’s time for the kids to learn about first aid, so it’ll help them deal with emergency situations when needed!
DEAL: Get $10 off on any subscription order! Use coupon code HELLO10.
Each box comes with a booklet, packed with informative articles, useful tips, and other exciting activities. In the First Aid box booklet, there’s a page with a feature about Olympic National Park, a role-play activity for kids, how to apply first aid, and more!
Resource Cards. The first item in the box is a set of resource cards. We received nine different cards, each with a topic you’ll most likely encounter when outdoors, such as bleeding, burns and scalds, bug bites and stings, rashes, and more.
It lists the symptoms and treatments needed, so you won’t panic when such a circumstance arises. Each card also has a hole on the upper part that makes it easy to attach to the metal ring included in the Intro Box.
Strip Thermometer. For checking body temperatures while on an adventure, included in the box is a strip thermometer. This item has thermochromic liquid crystals that can detect heat. It changes color based on how much heat your body has. The strip absorbs and reacts to the heat from your body. It’s lightweight and won’t take up any space since it is thin and flat.
Hand Sanitizer. Next up is hand sanitizer in a 10 ml spray container. Since water and soap are not readily available when on the trail, this will come in handy!
All you have to do is spray it into the palm of your hand and rub them together until dry. You can easily pop this into your kids’ clothing pockets or bags.
Ace Bandage. Another item to add to your kids’ first aid kit is an ace bandage (or compression bandage). It’s a long strip of stretchable cloth used to reduce swelling in an injured area of the body and to help restrain loose joints.
Bandana. Bandanas aren’t just for fashion, they also come in handy when it comes to first aid! This one is a lightweight, but durable bandana and the print on it demonstrates how useful a bandana can be. It can be used for nutrition, weather, and survival, aside from being a reliable first aid tool!
First Aid Kit. The yellow pouch is made with lightweight, water-resistant nylon that makes it ready for outdoor use. It contains my kids’ first aid kit!
There are lots of supplies in the kit! Mostly, the items are for treating wounds. There are bandages, sterile gauze pads, a tongue depressor, and more.
First aid is one of the most important skills young explorers need to learn! In this box, kids are given a variety of first-aid supplies and information. All of the items in the box are handy, not just for outdoor travels but for indoors as well. We also appreciate the suggested activities, which enable the kids to apply what they have learned right away. My kids are looking forward to seeing what they will learn next and what outdoor tools they will receive. This subscription is a great way to help them build an outdoor pack while nurturing their love for nature!
Each box they send out comes sealed with a sticker. Check out the packaging here:
