We now know that the CDC recommends that we wear face masks, or face coverings when out in public.
Kids older than two years old should be wearing a face covering when going out in public, as well as adults.
But, adult face masks might swallow up the face of the child — especially if the kid is on the smaller side.
That is easily remedied. A few simple measurement changes, and kids can have their own masks, too.
It’s still important that the mask fit properly — over their nose, and around their chin.
It’s also better if you include some kind of filter in the mask — a coffee filter, a paper towel, a vacuum bag — just make sure they can easily breathe.
Whatever material you choose to use for your mask, Leah Day, on YouTube recommends measuring your — fabric, sock, bandana, etc — 8 inches by 11 inches in size.
