As far as hot packs are concerned, I use an old white tube sock and empty a bag of white rice into it.

As for an ice pack, take a sponge and saturate it with a 50/50 solution of water and rubbing alcohol. Place this in a heavy duty zip lock freezer bag and place in freezer. The alcohol will keep it from freezing solid and keep it pliable enough to wrap around a skinned knee or whatever. These can be refrozen and reused countless times. They make sponges and zip lock bags in such cute designs now that you can make really cute ones. ... View related article.
