There is no evidence to support that wearing a face mask will protect you from COVID-19. You should still avoid touching your face, washing your hands frequently for 20 seconds using warm water and soap and practice social distancing.
With masks and face coverings being a new mandatory part of our new normal, it is important to find masks that are designed to fit small faces. But while explaining why wearing non-medical face masks is crucial to your kids is one thing, there’s the even more difficult task of convincing them to wear and keep their face masks on.
On top of finding the right sizes that are best suited to fit your little ones, an easy way for children to feel more comfortable is by giving them kid-friendly patterns and cute colourful options to choose from. Have them be apart of the shopping process and look for face masks that feature your child's favourite colours and/or cartoon character.
With high demands for children’s face masks, shopping online for the perfect one has never been easier. Below, we've listed retailers that offer kid-friendly non-medical face masks. Let us know your favourites in the comments.
