Crazy Arms

Designed and made in Australia by three dads who have experienced the daily battle of getting their kids to wear sunscreen - the mess, and then further battles interrupting some ‘important business’ to reapply every couple of hours. They come in a range of patterns including dinosaurs, graphic skulls, unicorns, sailors, stripes and more, as well as plain colours for sport and school.
