Create your own SunSmart poster 

SunSmart has a new online resource to help children make their very own SunSmart posters with themselves as the SunSmart star! It’s free - all they need is a printer and an image of their face to upload. The first step asks them to check the SunSmart UV Alert for their area to see if they need to make a sun protection or vitamin D poster. They then choose a scene, text, upload an image of their own face to place into the scene, add their name and they’re ready to print off a personalised poster to display. They can also save a copy on the computer. There are sun protection, vitamin D and snow posters to choose from at www.sunsmart.com.au/createposter
