Great Ideas - Ketchup Condiment Sachets as Ice Packs



The photo above shows my 5 year old daughter using a ketchup sachet as an ice pack. I saw this idea in a magazine a while ago and now use this practical tip all the time.  No more wasting a whole packet of frozen veg for children's bumps!

I also keep rice packs in the freezer for bigger bumps but for small children these sachets are much easier. My children think these are great, and they mould into the bumps perfectly.

I keep a few in the freezer door compartment and once the coldness has gone they swap them for another one - works brilliantly!

These are also great for the kids to use when they are feeling a bit hot in the warm weather - they are nice and cool on their warm skin!

Another idea for these frozen sachets are to put them into packed lunches to keep things cool.

Do you have any other ideas for these condiment sachets?

  7. Love this idea!! Those packets will take up a lot less space in the freezer than the usual big ice packs, too.

    1. Glad you like. I keep the sachets tucked into the door shelves inbetween other things - no space needed really!
