The UV Monkey is a clever little gadget has a chemical compound in its core which changes colour to indicate the strength of the UV intensity in the suns rays - the stronger the colour, The stronger the UV radiation.

How does the UVmonkey work?
At the centre of the UVmonkey it has a special chemical which reacts to the levels of UV from the sun. The darker the centre goes, the stronger the UV. This will then give a good indication if the solar strength is good enough to charge your solar device or if you just need to apply some sun cream!
