Reward your kids for putting on their sunscreen with no fuss.

Yes, some kids can’t stand putting on sunscreen but if they knew a treat was coming their way for doing so, don’t you think they would be a little more susceptible to the idea? Maybe an extra ride down the water slide will do the trick!
