As parents get ready to send their children back to school, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students and visitors to schools, regardless of vaccination status.
It may be a struggle to get your little ones to cooperate, but masks are only effective if they’re worn correctly and provide a proper fit. In order to ensure that they snugly and comfortably surround your child’s mouth and nose (and stay put!), it’s important to purchase a smaller mask that’s made to fit their specific age group and face size. The less your child needs to adjust their mask, the less they’ll touch their face.
There are plenty of cute and comfy cloth face masks available for kids that are made by trusted brands, featuring playful patterns, kid-friendly colorful designs, and even some of your child’s favorite characters. So even if they don’t fully understand why they need to wear a mask, they’ll want to wear one, anyway.
