Things to include in a small child's "power outage" kit?

We just got our power back today after it being off for 3 days. And while it was off I started to think about putting together little "power outage" kits/bags for my kids. OR maybe just one big kit to store everything all together. They are too young for things like batteries to be in their kit. But I was thinking obviously their own personal flashlights and maybe some touch lights. Small packs of crayons and small coloring books. Small battery powered fans (for summer). They aren't really old enough to have their own radios, I'm sure there would be a lot of static instead of music lol. I was trying to think of some games or toys to put in. They have a lot of toys anyway, but I think some small stuff that they don't get to play with all the time would be a good addition. Just list anything you can think of that would be fun or help during a power outage. With the way our power goes out I really need to think of something. Its gone out twice this winter and 2 or 3 times over the summer. And its averaged 3 days up to a week. My children are 3 and under boys and a girl. So age appropriate stuff is a must.

Answer
Glow sticks - can buy in bulk and they're magical to little kids.
A glowing stuffed animal would be fun, too, like the Gloworm toys. It could be a special friend to come out during power outages. :)
Finger puppets would also be fun and easy to store.

With supervision, they could use seasonal stickers (snowflakes, etc.) on paper.
For toys, think of things without a lot of stray pieces like a Viewmaster and a travel Magna Doodle.

Speaking or ViewMaster toys, this projector would be fun on a dark evening:

If your heat goes out, instant handwarmers would be nice.
In hot weather, Frog Toggs and Chill-it both make bandanas and towels that use evaporative cooling; just wet them in the faucet and wring the out for cooling relief. (And they aren't drippy or messy!)
Here's an example:

If you "camp out" together around a fireplace in the living room, I'm sure they would have a blast with a little play tent. Or, just make your own by draping a bed sheet over a table or build a couch cushion fort!
