Teach your kids the proper way to wear a mask: 

check out our video and watch it with your kids!

• Wash hands for 20 seconds 

• Pick up clean mask by the ear loop and put on ear

• Repeat on the other side

• Secure the nose piece is formed to the nose and/or covering the nose

• Secure the bottom part of mask is covering the chin 

​

Practice at home: 

• Make a fun game to see how long you can go without touching your mask! 

• If your kid touches their mask, make it a habit that they should wash their hands or use hand sanitizer 

• Practice wearing the mask around the house or even to play outside 

 

Set an example:

• As a parent or someone who helps with kids, you should wear your mask around and often. Visuals help kids understand better. 

• Practice what you preach, if you touch your mask, wash your hands with soap and water. 

 

Make your mask fun:

• If you have the necessary supplies and tools, try to make a mask with your kid(s)

• Pick out fabric that the kid(s) will actually want to wear on their face 

 

Make a daily mask plan with your child

• Create a storage rack of CLEAN masks for your kid(s) to grab each day for school.

​

Store used masks safely

• Store used masks in plastic Ziplocs, brown paper bags, or reusable cloth bags until they can be washed

• Keep a little hamper in the car so your kid(s) can take their masks off right away 

​

Have a back up plan

• Send your kids with an extra mask just in case!

• Create a little kit with hand sanitizer, soap, a fresh mask and any other essentials (make sure to go over with your kid(s) where it is located)
