Rub on sunscreen
The thick texture and shiny, sticky skin can make sunscreen feel uncomfortable long after the bottle is back in the bag. The visual support below shows every area that needs cream, so your child knows exactly where fingers go and when the body is fully covered.

About this visual support
Thick cream sitting shiny on the skin and fingers left with a sticky film makes many children back away when the tube appears. It is not stubbornness, it is a sensory signal that stays visible and tangible all morning.
With pictures for forehead, nose, ears, shoulders, arms, legs and feet, the task turns into a series of clear areas instead of one large gluey whole. Your child sees exactly where the fingers go, and you stop debating whether the back of the neck has really been done. A specific tip: place a small dot of cream on each picture before you start, so the amount is predictable and hands do not keep returning to the tube.
If you want to combine the printed sequence with a digital flow, you can build the same steps in Routined and try the app for fourteen days at no cost.
