- 1 star
- Ages 4 to 12
- Daily
- Outdoor and pets
From about age 4, children can put on their own sunscreen with help for the back and ears. Making it a routine before going out in the sun protects their skin.
Try this week with your kids
Noki suggests a first week of quests and rewards for your kids. You change what you like before you start.
Why it matters
Sun protection is a lifelong habit that starts in childhood. Doing it themselves makes kids more likely to keep it up.
Steps for kids
- Squeeze a little sunscreen on your hand.
- Rub it on your face, avoiding your eyes.
- Do your arms, legs and neck.
- Ask a grown-up to do your back and ears.
- Put on your sun hat.
