A friend mentioned bells and whistles to me today which got me thinking about what you need in a 72-hour kit for your kids. I don't recommend bells. They would probably get to be very annoying and could be dangerous if you don't want to be easily detected. However, whistles are a good item to have available for your kids so that they can make their whereabouts know to you if you get separated.
We pack one for each family member and have ones that also contain a compass and a small compartment for matches and paper. I don't recommend including those items in the whistles of less mature children for obvious reasons.
