Here's how you can better tweak the masks to fit your little ones.

During the circuit breaker period, it is mandatory for everyone to wear a mask when they’re out, with the exception of when you are exercising and for kids below the age of 2. Therefore making DIY face mask for kids is something you are thinking of doing.

While we’ve shared how to modify disposable masks and government-issued masks to fit better on your face, what about your kids?

Here is a simple video tutorial on YouTube that shows you how to resize an adult-sized mask into a kid’s mask in less than a minute.

Step 1: On the outer side of the mask, in a vertical position, take the left end of the mask and fold it to the centre.
