8 Cute And Comfortable Face Masks Your Kids Are Sure To Love (Buy Them Online!)

As we’re adjusting to the “new normal” brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the things we need to get used to is wearing face masks every time we step outside, which the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases has made mandatory for all. While adults won’t have a problem adjusting to the new rules, our little ones might feel hesitant and even irritable if we ask them to wear this new accessory especially if they don’t understand what it’s for.

Cute and comfortable face masks for kids

Apart from explaining the need to use face masks, one of the ways you can motivate them to wear one is to look for masks with fun and appealing designs! (Read up on other ways to encourage them here.)

Keep in mind: The use of any form of facial protective covering for newborns, like face shields and masks, is not recommended by local pediatricians. Likewise, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend face masks for kids younger than age 2. But for older kids, the CDC says that wearing “cloth face coverings” in public settings is recommended especially for those who are asymptomatic (do not exhibit symptoms) and pre-symptomatic (those who eventually develop symptoms) as recent studies have shown that they can still spread the virus to others.

Face masks do not guarantee protection against COVID-19 but wearing one reduces the chance of transmitting the virus through respiratory droplets. According to pediatricians, surgical masks may be more helpful as it blocks large, liquid droplets and splatter from the wearer’s mouth and nose, but cloth masks can also be an alternative while there is a global shortage of personal protective equipment. 

The important thing to remember when going outside is to maintain social distancing and keep preventive measures like frequent handwashing in mind.
