7 Fun Face Masks For Children

Depending on what country you’re living in, it may be compulsory or recommended that your child wears a mask on public transport, in school or when you’re out and about. However, we all know it can be a struggle just to get them to wear a pair of matching socks so what hope is there when it comes to a mask?

Not to worry, getting a fun and safe mask for them to wear is the first step in the right direction and luckily, there are 100s of great children’s masks available out there, from bright pink unicorns to toned down neutral masks. 

Just a few key points before we get started:

• Although these facemasks are not considered to be medical grade, they are known to prevent the spread of germs and viruses that occur via air droplets. 
• WHO recommends that for a face mask to be effective, the nose, chin and mouth should be covered and should be put on with well-sanitised hands. 
• WHO also suggests that those children who are in good health are able to wear fabric masks but does not suggest these masks for those kids who have a health condition. 
• It is recommended that children under the age of 3 should not wear a mask due to suffocation risks. 
• It is compulsory for children to wear a mask in school if they are over the age of 11. This includes in the corridors and classrooms.
