Stationary, lunchboxes, PE plimsoles – there's a new addition to the ever growing list of things our children need for school – face masks. It's a checklist that seems like it needs replenishing every term, especially as our children seem to loose their face masks so frequently!
The Department for Education has recently updated its advice on face coverings in schools, following the statement published by The World Health Organisation (WHO) on 21 August on when children should wear face coverings. They now advise that 'children aged 12 and over should wear a mask under the same conditions as adults, in particular when they cannot guarantee at least a 1-metre distance from others and there is widespread transmission in the area.'
Face masks for kids are currently in high demand, so we've put together a selection of reusable and disposable face masks that your kids will actually want to wear. From their favourite Disney characters to their favourite animal, there's something fun for every child. We're almost wishing they made them in adult sizes, too...
