FOR AGES 4 YEARS TO 12 YEARS
As children make their way back to school in the time of COVID-19, there is an ever-growing need for them to be fully prepared with a mask that fits perfectly and is very comfortable.
With the current climate, it is also important that we buy reusable face coverings rather than single-use plastic ones. Therefore, to help you with your decision and to make sure your child is ready, we have put together a handy list of the best face masks for kids that are suited to smaller sizes and are all reusable. Many have adjustable ear loops or nose pieces so that you can ensure a secure fit for your little one no matter where they go.
The Pacamask brand tailors masks for children and adults, with a small and large face-covering available. The mask for kids comes in a variety of colours and can be in a bundle of three and six too if you need more. The adjustable ear loops can be changed to suit each head size and therefore create a snug, comfortable and secure mask to wear out and about.
The Pacamask states it kills up to 99% of bacteria even after 50 masks, so these are a good investment for your child to wear over and over again.
Vistaprint have tailored their masks to be suitable for kids, and their small adult size is great for older children and teens.

These Mango cloth face masks come in three different sizes, small, medium and large, which means they fit ages three to 12.
