Parents can protect their children by dressing them in T-shirts or wrap them in towels, but this limits their freedom of movement and isn’t always feasible when water sports or activities are involved. Instead, try a Stephen Joseph bucket hat. These circular hats feature a wide brim that shields your child’s face and shoulders from strong sunlight and helps protect their precious skin from harmful UV rays. The generous brim also helps to shield your child’s eyes, reducing irritation and redness while making it easier to see and play. Coupled with a healthy dose of sunscreen and a pair of stylish Stephen Joseph sunglasses, your child can successfully avoid both sunburn and strained eyes.

These adorable Stephen Joseph bucket hats fit the majority of toddlers and are fashioned from 100% cotton. They feature colorful embroidery, appliqué, coordinating fabrics, and lining. Each is embroidered with a creative illustration that you may choose upon order. Options include a butterfly, a friendly crocodile, a dolphin, and turtle, and even a crab. Bright and cheerful, these cute head toppers add a bit of verve to any child’s beach-going outfit. Each hat can also be embroidered with your child’s name, not only for added style, but to ensure that it doesn’t get misplaced during your daily activities. The circumference along the inside of each hat measures 20”, and any requested embroidery must measure ¾” high and 2-3” long.

“I love these bucket hats,” writes Felicia from Andover, Massachusetts, “I bought the shark version for my son and he looks absolutely adorable in it. I’m an avid runner and I also like to take him on long walks and I sometimes get concerned that I’m exposing him to too much direct sunlight. Maybe it’s just me being a paranoid mom, but buying the bucket hat really gave me some peace of mind. Not only that, but he just looks so cute!” Meghan of Las Vegas purchased a pair of these caps for her twin sons, Liam and Evan. She writes, “It gets incredibly hot in Las Vegas, sometimes hitting 120°. I try to keep my boys inside as much as possible when it gets that warm, but of course we inevitably have to run errands or visit family. I make sure to keep them cool with a shaded stroller and these hats. They avoid sunburn and potential heat stroke.” Like Felicia and Meghan, make the decision to protect your son or daughter with an impeccably made bucket-hat from Stephen Joseph.
