SAFE SUN FUN
Parents can teach their children to be sun aware and sunburn aware with a new line of swimwear offered through Seasons UV called LOL. Patterns on the swimwear tops change color to indicate that the sun is strong enough to cause a burn and that it’s time to apply sunscreen or take a break from the sun. The pieces also provide an ultraviolet protection factor of 50-plus, dry quickly and can be worn as active daywear. LOL shirts come in sizes 3 months to 12. They are made in a variety of colors and styles and have different patterns and sleeve lengths. Prices for tops are $20 to $30 and can be ordered through www.seasons-uv.com.
