Protecting your kids (and yourself!) from the sun is a top priority come summertime, and while you may be vigilant about applying sunscreen before you head out the door, remembering to reapply once everyone gets playing is always a chore. That's where these handy Sunny Patch stickers come in.

Don't worry about setting a timer to put on a second coat, just adhere one of these small clear stickers to their skin before you apply sunscreen normally. The sticker will change colors to a bright purple when they've had too much UV exposure, and you'll know it's time to put on a fresh layer of sun protection.

The best part is that the kids can see the stickers change color and can tell you themselves when it's time for more sunscreen. The stickers are small and unobtrusive so they won't get in the way—just make sure to stick them in a spot like an arm or shoulder that gets the most direct sunlight.
