Lookie look! The SUN is OUT!
Naturally, sitting out for some much needed brightness with my lunch I managed to scald my cheeks an attractive lobster shade… Which is a bit sore, but did remind me that we were going to run a series for ‘Sun Awareness Week’ a little while ago – which we didn’t. Because it was raining. Would’ve been stoopid.

But now the sun is shining (and yes, my nose is smarting) so here – from our resident experts at The Beach Factory; a quick reminder on keeping the family safe in the sunshine, whilst still managing to enjoy it.

• Slip on a shirt
• Slop on sunscreen
• Slap on a hat
• Wrap on sunglasses.

The SunSmart message is really simple to implement for all ages and if you follow the “Slip-Slap-Slop-Wrap” code there is no reason for sore shoulders, burnt faces, fractious kids and permanent sun damage.

1.    Nothing can spoil a family holiday quicker than sunburn!  Sun protection UV swim shirts and UV sunsuits, tested to the maximum standard of UPF 50+, are ideal products to wear as sunscreen only has to be applied on exposed areas (Laura says – we fell in love with these in 2008, and have never looked back)

LOVE this Lion in the Sun sunsuit which is on sale at under £20, age 2-8yrs.

2.    Carry a pocket size Sunsense roll on sun cream  in your bag, useful for days out when it starts off cloudy and then the sun comes out. Perfect size to pack in school bags too so older kids can apply their own cream when at school.

FAB idea - roll on sunscreen in your bag. No more leaky tubes!

3.    Don’t forget sun hats whether you are at home or abroad. Wide brimmed sun hats and legionnaire style hats  are ideal to wear to school and in the water.

LOVE these reversible Tuga hats (£15) which are good for in the pool too.

4.    Eyes are so vulnerable; make sure you use sun glasses tested to UV 400. Kids Banz glasses with adjustable straps stay on younger children, J Banz and Squids suit older children.

I know my boys would totally wear these £13 JBanz. Cool, no?

5.    Try to stay out of the sun at least between 11-3pm by either hiring or buying a big parasol or investing in a UV tent which will shield the family from harmful UV rays.

There's no point in having the children nicely in the shade while you sizzle, is there?

What a fab product from the equally fab Messy-Me. They specialise in really very lovely products, all made from oilcloth (genius, no?) that’ll keep your small person (and your house!) just that little bit easier to clean up.
And I love this tunic because we all know that they grow out of the bibs LONG before they grow out of dribbling food down their fronts. And even when they’re not eating this can be used for messy play too.

PLUS – when was the last time you saw a children’s bib look this darn PRETTY?

Fably.

(they do bibs, mats and ingenious high chair covers too!)

The Messy Tunics fit 1-3yr olds, come in four styles and are available direct from Messy-Me for a pea under £12.
