Sun, sea, and sand: Summer-ready with kids

Melting ice cream, sandcastles by the sea, and bare feet running around outside all day: summer is all about little moments of joy. Kids often spend sunny days splashing in the water or playing in the sand. But while your little adventurers are busy exploring and playing, good sun protection is essential. With a few well-thought-out essentials like high-quality sunglasses, a lightweight sun hat, and UV-protective swimwear, your little one can enjoy every sunny day worry-free.

Even in the shade, a good sunscreen is still essential. It’s best to choose a mineral sunscreen with a high SPF, specially formulated for children’s sensitive skin.

Naïf Sunscreen for Babies & Kids SPF50 provides high protection for children’s and babies’ skin against UVA and UVB rays. The skin-friendly formula is based on zinc oxide, a mineral filter that forms a protective layer on the skin, ensuring that the sun’s rays are immediately reflected. Reapplying regularly ensures that little adventurers can enjoy the sun worry-free.

Children's eyes are particularly sensitive to bright sunlight. High-quality sunglasses with UV protection help protect their eyes while playing, biking, or walking in the sun. It's best to choose sunglasses with 100% UV protection and sturdy, comfortable frames that can withstand rough handling.

Let your little one choose for themselves: if your child likes a pair of sunglasses, they’ll actually wear them. Fortunately, there are plenty of great styles available today that combine functionality with timeless design.

Whether you're heading to the beach, planning a picnic, or just playing in the garden, a beach tent provides a safe, shaded spot for your little one. It's perfect for naps, quiet playtime, or a break from the sun on hot days.

With Konges Sløjd’s portable pop-up beach tents, you can create your own little beach retreat: packed as a round disc, all you have to do is hold it out in front of you, toss it a little, and boom - it pops open instantly and is ready to use!

Little sunbathers often forget just how strong the sun can be while swimming and playing in the water. UV swimwear helps provide extra protection for sensitive skin: ideal for long days at the beach, pool fun, or vacations in the sun.
