My wife and I are organizing a small 4H group and I am donating the gear. The children so far are all five year old girls.

Here's the gear list so far:

- Small aluminun whistle on a "bracelet"
- Finger and knuckle band aids, individually wrapped wet wipes, small hand cleaner in an Aloksak bag
- Small shake flashlight
- COGHLANS Poncho For Kids
- Emergency blanket (to be upgraded to the AMK Heatsheet after the girls destroy the mylar one practicing with it)
- 12 oz Nalgene bottle
- Snacks
- Small waist pack
- I am not quite comfortable putting MP-1 tablets or a small SAK in there yet

The moms, the girls and I will meet to discuss any additons/subtractions to the list as well as the education topics and fun activities.

So far that list has:

- Safety
- Signalling and getting help
- Crafts
- Using a knife safely & firecraft (this one is me. I doubt the moms would go for this)
- Outdoor cooking
- Using a compass & navigation games
- Practicing carrying their stuff

We all go hiking on a regular basis anyway, so this would go hand in hand with it.

I present this to you to get your feedback and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
