Packing for Preschoolers

What would you make sure to bring to Baitcon if a preschooler were also on your packing list?

Things for him to do if it rains the entire weekend (of which there is a small but non-zero chance). Warmish clothes because it might get chilly at night. Bubbles. Other run-around-outside sorts of things. Extra clothes because he's going to get grubby.

Good suggestions, thanks!

Layers to cope with the change in temperature between day & night. Extra outfits. Extra blanket.
Bubbles. Magnetic sticker book. Markers and paper. Maybe a favorite game (I really need to put together a packet of large spoons and a deck of cards - I find that preschoolers can play SPOON pretty well and you don't have to buy the pre-packaged version.

Flashlight he can hold or wear? Music player? Audio book (age appropriate) on the music player or smartphone?

I don't have any children, but I'd recommend bringing enough food to keep a picky eater happy for the weekend.

There is usually a session for kids to make ice cream, so you could bring something to make a special flavor.

A bzillion pairs of underwear. Aside from that the trip there was harder to pack for than baitcon, honestly.
