As part of the national guidelines issued by the CDC, we have been advised to use a face mask when we leave home, but finding any can be difficult.
Not to mention, finding face masks that fit your children properly can be even more difficult. It’s important to refer to the CDC and other reliable health organizations when determining the best size for your child and to review guidelines that recommend babies and toddlers not use face masks.
However, small business owners have stepped up all over the country to make masks, including those specific to little faces. Here are some options you can find on Etsy and they even offer a variety of colors and patterns, which may make the situation a little less scary for your child. It’s important to note many handmade masks are NOT medical grade.

Hi! Wanted to share that I along with many others never received our masks from BirrdeStore. Her shop is no longer on Etsy, and I’ve had to open a case with Etsy in hopes of getting a refund.
Thanks for the heads up, Kim. We’ll take another look at the article and the resources we cited!
