A playful little reminder for sunny days outside 🤍

Our UV bead bracelets look soft and clear indoors, then change to blue, orange, or pink in sunlight, helping kids notice the sun in a simple, visual way.

A sweet add-on for park days, walks, travel, school pick-up, and everyday outside moments.

A reminder, not a replacement for sunscreen, shade, hats, or UPF 50+ tested clothing.

Some days become adventures without planning them.

Yesterday was backyard gardening, sunglasses, tiny watering jobs, grandma close by, and her Dune jacket along for it all. 🤍

These everyday memories always seem to stay with us the longest.

For us, sun protection has never been about saving it for special days. Just simple sun-safe layers for backyard days, garden days, and all the in-between moments outside. ✨

Getting kids outside should feel easy, not complicated. ☀️

A sun-safe outfit does not have to mean dressing them perfectly every time. It can be as simple as thinking in layers, more covered skin, UPF 50+ tested clothing when possible, sunscreen on the spots still exposed, a hat, and shade when you can.

And because UV is not only a sunny-day thing, checking the UV index can be a helpful everyday habit.

For us at Ember & Ray, sun protection has always been about helping kids enjoy real life outside with a little more care built in, park days, school days, travel days, backyard days, and all the in-between moments. ✨

That is why we create UPF 50+ tested coverage made for everyday outside. 🤍

Save this for the next time you are getting everyone ready to head out.

Park days, scooter rides, climbing, hand-holding, and everything in between.

Our UPF 50+ Thumbhole Lightweight Jacket and Grow-With-Me Pants are made for real play, with soft stretch, easy movement, a breathable back vent, and thoughtful coverage built in.

Finished with thumbholes for extra wrist and hand coverage, because those little spots are so easy to miss.

What I still do, even with UPF clothing.

Because sun protection works best as a combination, sunscreen on exposed skin, UPF 50+ tested coverage where the fabric covers, plus hats and shade when we can.

And sometimes the sweetest part is realizing they’re watching us more than we think.

Simple sun-safe habits can start early. 🤍

Not all clothing protects the same way.

A regular long sleeve shirt may cover the skin, but that does not always mean it gives the same UV protection as UPF 50+ tested clothing.

For kids, this matters because everyday outdoor time adds up, school walks, park days, travel days, and all the little moments outside.

UPF 50+ tested coverage can make sun protection simpler, especially when paired with sunscreen on exposed skin, hats, and shade.

Save this for your next outdoor day 🤍

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and this felt like a gentle reminder worth sharing.

Sun-safe habits can start in childhood, not with fear, and not by avoiding the outdoors, but with small choices that make outdoor time feel easier.

Sunscreen still matters. Hats still matter. Shade still matters. And clothing can quietly help too, especially when it offers UPF 50+ tested coverage in pieces kids are comfortable wearing.

For every day under the sun. 🤍
