Wearing a mask has become a new normal for adults and kids these days but that doesn't mean it can't be fun. This Halloween has posed a number of challenges to parents who want their kids to participate in the spooky holiday but also keep them safe and healthy. Whether you're celebrating the holiday with just a few close friends or choosing to safely trick or treat around your neighborhood, one thing that won't change is that kids still want to dress up and they're going to have to wear a mask.
The CDC has already announced that typical Halloween masks aren't enough to keep kids safe while trick or treating, so Crayola recently launched a line of reusable cloth face masks for Halloween that will not only help keep your kids safe but have them looking perfectly spooky at the same time.
The set comes in a pack of five non-medical masks that feature a dual-layer fabric with 3-D face design, secure fit adjustable ear straps, and a nose clip. The designs feature creepy names such as Mummyday, Tombsday, Witchesday, Ghoulsday, and Frightday. The pack also comes with a bonus mesh laundry bag so you can keep track of the masks in the wash.
If you're interested in grabbing a five-pack of these masks for your kids before the weekend, they are currently available on Amazon for just $14.99, which is a pretty good deal for five reusable masks. They even offer teen sizing as well which is perfect for older kids who will be dishing out the candy on Halloween.
It can be a bit uncomfortable to wear a mask all day but reviews on Crayola's masks indicate that these are super soft and comfortable to wear. "My kids love them. They are fun and fit well," wrote one commenter. "This is the second package of Schoolmasks that I've purchased. They are good quality and have stood up well to regular washing in the machine (line dry). The adjustable straps mean they always fit well, and my 5-year-old son doesn't mind keeping them on for long stretches of time," wrote another.
Keeping kids safe this Halloween means so much more this year than in years past and these face masks are an adorable addition to any Halloween costume.
