Care Kits!
CREATE A PACKAGE OF LOVE FOR A FAMILY
As a part of my Girl Scout Gold Award Project, 25 care kits with preemie approved items were donated to the Loma Linda Children's Hospital NICU. Here, I show you just what to put into a NICU Preemie Care Kit!
Care Kit Descriptions!
Preemie Rattles are an essential in this preemie care kit! They are fun to listen to and interesting to look at, which is no wonder preemie rattles are always a top demanded donation item that hospital NICU's and preemie families look for.
In a preemie care kit, let's not forget about the siblings of preemies, who need love too. A pack of crayons and coloring pages can wonderfully keep them entertained and get their creativity flowing as they await the return home of their precious little sibling.

In hospital NICU's, as parents await the return home of their precious little one, reading has been found to be an amazing bonding method. With donations of board books, preemie families are able to read to their preemies in the NICU and fill silent times with a world of adventure.

Crinkle books are any baby's favorite 'toy'. Not only do babies and preemies enjoy hearing the sound, they also love to look at the black and white images, which help to develop their visual perception abilities at an early age. It's never too early to start with these books!
It's important to keep preemies warm, with their bodies clothed and their heads covered in a warm hat. Preemie onesies are another essential Preemie Care Kit item. Hospitals are always looking for donations of preemie delivery onesies. Take a look at the 'Preemie Clothing' session of the website for more information regarding clothing.
Preemie and baby receiving blankets are always in high demand within hospital delivery rooms. With many babies delivered each day/night, hospital donations of delivery blankets are sure to be happily and gratefully accepted.
