🎲 Waiting-It-Out Kit

Especially for little kids — a long outage is boring and a little scary before it's anything else. Give them something to do with their hands.

Games

• Deck of playing cards
• Dominoes
• A couple of small travel-size board games

For little kids

• Coloring books and crayons
• A favorite small toy or comfort item

For everyone

• A couple of real books — not just phone charge
• Pen and notepad

Keep this with the rest of the outage supplies, not scattered around the house — it should be as easy to grab as the flashlight.
