How it works
A hat, sunscreen, shade and water keep us happy in the sun.
Think of them as shields.
We swim only when a grown-up is close by.
Worked examples
A sun hat
- Kit's grown-up gives out sun hats.
- A hat keeps the sun off our heads and faces.
- A floppy hat even keeps Bun's ears out of the sun, through two holes.
Sunscreen
- Kit holds still while his grown-up smooths cool sunscreen on his nose, ears and arms.
- It is like a shield that helps his skin stay happy in the sun.
- We add more after swimming.
Shade and water
- When the sun is high and hot, take a break in the shade.
- Kit's throat feels dry, so he sips water.
- He remembers to drink water often, even when he is busy playing.
Asking to swim
- Kit asks, 'May I swim?'
- His grown-up says, 'Yes, I am right here with you.'
- They splash in the shallow water close to the shore.
