Teacher Emergency Kit

So I'm pretty sure all of us teachers have had that, "Oops I forgot deodorant this morning" or "Does anyone have any Tylenol" moment at least once in your teaching career!

I thought that image was too funny and goes perfect with this post. However, I do have to say that I am good about putting deodorant on every morning except that one time that I didn't and had to stop on the way to work for some...could have used a Teacher Emergency Kit that day! I have seen a few Teacher Emergency Kit posts on Pinterest and Blog Posts. Lori from Conversations in Literacy has a great Teacher Survival Kit post and includes a lot of great things in her kit! Well all of these ideas got me thinking and I decided to put together Teacher Emergency Kits for my teammates as Back to School gifts! I think the idea of an emergency kit is genius because we've all had those moments of needing something and not having it. I started off with getting the containers. I decided to go with the Sterlite shoebox size containers from Target. They are less than $1 each!

Next I headed over to the travel section because I knew there would be the perfect sized items for an emergency kit. Originally I just picked up a few things and then the list just kept growing! **You know your list of items has grown when your husband says to you, "I'm assuming these waters are for your Teacher Emergency Kits???" :)

Here is a picture of what everything looks like inside the kit:

Each kit has: *A bottle of water *2 mini bags of pretzels *1 box of m&m candy *Altoids *lint roller *Tylenol *deodorant *nail file *lotion *hair bands *dental floss *toothpaste/toothbrush *Tide to Go stick Here is a close-up of everything:

I'm excited to give these to my kindergarten teamies!! I may have also made one for myself!!

If you are thinking this is something you would like to make for your teammates, I am including the Teacher Emergency Kit label as a FREEBIE! Just click the picture to download! I laminated the labels and then hot glued them on the lid of the container.
