Custom face masks for kids: How to get kids wearing face masks during Covid 19

It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of our lives, from wearing face masks out and about, to how we shop to how we travel to how we eat. Parents face the added complexity of keeping their children safe, educated, and mentally healthy – and it can feel almost impossible to balance these three vital responsibilities. In the UK, most school children are now back in circulation however as North American school systems reopen over the coming weeks, many working parents are faced with that same difficult decision of whether to send their kids to school even in the face of the pandemic.

One of the most effective ways to keep children safe is for them to wear face masks. In fact, schools and other public places require them for anyone older than toddler age. While that may seem like a laudable goal, the reality is that kids are often not as careful as adults when it comes to social distancing and staying safe. And if you have ever tried to get a six-year-old to wear a mask and keep it on for more than five minutes, you know that it’s an uphill battle. This is where customized face masks can play a vital role in helping parents keep their children safe in public spaces where social distancing is not possible.

One reason the kids don’t wear masks is that many of them are not comfortable, and the other key reason is that, to be blunt, masks aren’t particularly cool. Most of them are boring and uninspiring, and don’t ignite the imaginations of the children who are supposed to wear them. From a very early age, children are picky about what they wear, and that extends to masks. The bottom line is that children aren’t going to wear masks that don’t let them express who they are. What if there was a way to make masks cool?

Thanks to StickerYou, there is. Welcome to the world of customized masks, where kids can pick any design under the sun, and have it ironed onto their masks.
