Reusable Face Masks for Kids That Are Worth The Purchase

Putting on a mask appears to be the default mode now when leaving home. But with the COVID-19 pandemic said to continue on for at least one more year, perhaps it makes more economical sense to invest in some quality reusable masks—and one that’s also environmentally friendly. 

During this trying time, many Singaporeans have come together to rally for support: from sewing homemade masks for the needy, to individuals or businesses donating part of the proceeds made from masks to local charities. There’s no better time than now to step up and offer support.

If you’re looking for stylish yet comfortable masks for your child, look no further!

Note: Children under two years old are advised against wearing masks, or anyone who is unable to remove the mask without assistance.
