Rescue Me

Life with a toddler means you'll probably face more "emergencies" than the docs on 13 seasons of E.R. Every day is filled with mini crises: A park outing gone bad due to a level 5 temper tantrum, a 45-minute wait in the pizzeria with no source of entertainment. These are "momergencies."

This is when the Momergency Kit comes in handy. The kit contains a combination of entertainment – code for distraction – and coping supplies such as a bandage, safety pins and scissors for typical toddler mishaps and meltdowns.

An accompanying book lists 20 activities to do using the contents of the Momergency Kit: Turn a surgical glove into a blow-up turkey. Flash Morse code signals with the flashlight. Start up a few short dice games. Or try a scavenger hunt, perfect for those infamous traffic jams during summer road trips (find a car with out-of-state plates). The kit is geared toward infants to 12-year-olds.

The best feature? A plastic container with a compartment for your favorite meds for times when not even a blow-up turkey will stop your head from pounding.
