Trying to keep a pair of sunglasses on a toddler can be like getting your cat to wear a festive costume. (Ever see a Kitty that enjoyed dressing up?)

Given the dangers of UV radiation though, kiddies need to learn early to rock some shades.
(The American Optometric Association warns that "the effects of UV radiation are cumulative. This means the longer your eyes are exposed to UV radiation, the greater the risk of developing such conditions as cataracts or macular degeneration in later life.")

Enter Eyes Cream Shades who make quality sun glasses for the younger set in bright, fun colors and fashion-forward designs. No need to tell them that they provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.

Little girls can dress up like Mom in the Mint Ice - Cat Eye Walk Kids Sunglasses ($24.95) or your teen can sport the trendy Licorice Ice -- Divalicious Teen Sunglasses($34.99.)
For babies, there's the Banana - Trends N Bends Baby/Toddler Sunglasses, made of durable, matte yellow rubber frame that bend easily to prevent breakage. ($24.95.)

It's never to early to start protecting your muchkin's eyes. Or to stop dressing up kitty Cat.
