Quick Tip: Applying Sunscreen to Wiggly Kids
August 20, 2009 at 11:13 AM by Cafe Suzanne - Comments (3)
It's August and while some moms are already thinking about back to school, it's also steamy hot. It feels like summer has finally arrived (after a very rainy start). I've been taking my daughter to the beach every day to cool off, which means I've been using sunscreen—and lots of it.
As any mom knows, applying sunscreen on a toddler is not easy. But Cafe Cynthia has some fun sunscreen games, which make the whole ordeal a little easier.
And Michelle at Her Cup Overfloweth shared this safe sunscreen application tip for especially wiggly toddlers (I have one of those):
"I have the kids put their goggles on before the sunscreen and I spray them from head to toe! That way, I don't have to worry about getting it in their eyes. Once I'm done, I touch up the under eye area if needed! Presto! Full Coverage. No Mess. No Burning Eyes."
What are your sunscreen application secrets for kids?

I like the spray sunscreen to and for the face I use the stick, he likes using it himself so that helps
I spray my own hands when I'm doing his neck, ears, and cheeks. I don't want him INHALING it either.

I just use the spray sunscreen all over my son's body and then for his face I apply sunblock with my hands. It seems to work fine.
