☀️SUMMER MUST HAVE ☀️

Have you met Solar Buddies🧴What a fantastic product if you have kids! Iv just bought 2 of these for the twins and honestly, INCREDIBLE! 🤩

Your school, nursery or pre school will love you, no more suncream on your or their hands, so good if staff are having to apply multiple creams to different children, limiting the chance of allergic reactions from other brands. You also write there name on the bottle.

EASY FOR KIDS TO USE - no more messy sunscreen hands! Simply fill container with sunscreen of choice, shake the contents towards the roller ball and apply to body. The sponge ring will assist with rubbing in the lotion. Plus no more waste from squeezing too much sunscreen on your hands. PS Soltan is my 100% go to for kids sun protection.

You can buy on Amazon but don’t! Iv just bought them for half price at Boots!! Just £6.28 in their sale 💚💜

It’s that time of year folks! Looking at buying swimwear 🩲for your children for the summer holidays? then this is a great safety swimwear guide, highlighting the benefits of wearing brightly coloured swimwear 🐠🐠🐠

🌞 By changing to brighter colours, you can help ensure your child is easier to spot when submerged, making it even easier to keep your child under constant supervision when playing and swimming in the water.
