SUMMER SUN PROTECTION Children’s skin is thinner than that of adults. Young children burn more easily than older children, and infants are even more vulnerable. Certain areas of the skin—such as the face, shoulders, and the backs of knees—are more likely to burn than others… Slip! Slop! Slap! That translates to: · Slip on a shirt · Slop on some sunscreen · Slap on a hat to shade the face, neck, & ears Question: When is it okay to be red like a lobster? Answer: Never! A lobster isn’t bright red until it’s cooked. And neither are you. Question: Why doesn’t a turtle need to Slip!Slop!Slap? Answer: A turtle has a hard shell to protect its skin. You don’t. Question: Why is a tiger a cool cat? Answer: A tiger stays in the shade in the middle of the day. You should too. Helpful Hints: · Plan outdoor activities to avoid the midday sun. · Wear sunglasses for extra protection. · Keep an extra bottle of sunscreen in the car. · Choose a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. · Reapply sunscreen after swimming, perspiring, or toweling dry…	APPRECIATING ART Books provide opportunities for children to learn about and appreciate art. Younger children enjoy the crayon effect and fanciful illustrations in Fish is Fish, and the torn paper designs in Little Blue and Little Yellow, both by Leo Lionni. Fishes by Brian Wildsmith illustrates brush strokes and splatter painting with five or fewer words per page… ADOPT A TREE Children can relate to taking care of things. This is an excellent science observation activity, although they will just think it’s fun! · Find out what type of tree it is. · Take a snapshot of the tree. · Draw a picture of the tree. · Measure the height (if you can) and width. · Make up a story about the tree..
