There are many sunscreens specially made for babies available. Hats and sunglasses are good for protecting eyes from UV rays, which can be damaging. Try wide brimmed floppy hats for small children. Mosquitoes are extremely attracted to small children so remember to put a netting around the young one's stroller when going for a walk or put baby-safe mosquitoe repellent on their clothing. Think twice about putting your children in the sandbox at the local playground.
Sandboxes often act as a secondary litter to straying cats.
Make sure that the sand is changed often. Also make sure there is nothing that your child under three could accidently swallow. Although swimming is not recommended for children under the age of four, it can be enjoyable for children of all ages. Always keep your children close. Teach them not to talk or take things from strangers.
