Suddenly...the sun is in the sky. Time to put away our beanies and pull out our brimmed sun hats! Over the years that we have done preschool...I have seen lot's of sun hats on children.
Some hats that are too small and give them headaches or easily fall off.
I've seen hats that are so big that they constantly impede the child's play by falling in their eyes...or fall off every time they bend over.
Hats that are so thick that the child pleads with me that they can take it off as sweat streams down their face.
Hats with tiny brims that don't actually protect them from the sun...or protect just one side like a baseball cap.
And of course good hats too!
Here is what to look for in a hat...
1. A large brim.
2. Lightweight material.
3. A good fit. It's nice to find one that is adjustable to fit properly.
If I were to choose one hat for all of the children to wear...it would be something like this one. It's mesh sides breathe well...it stays on and even has a strap that can ensure it does...offers great sun protection with it's large brim and flap back...and offers great peripheral vision! A PERFECT HAT!! You might consider such a hat for your child this season...:)
