Perhaps you are heading to a hot, sunny location, or trekking in the mountains? Well, imagine having your own designer explorer cap! Keeping safe in the sun is really important to help protect little faces from the sun and wind. What would you put on yours? Maps, footprints, flowers? Let your imagination run wild as you design your very own explorer cap!
