Cubcoats makes cute animal face masks for kids
This past weekend, during a (responsibly socially distant) walk around my neighborhood, I saw a little kid wearing an adorable animal face mask just like the ones I just discovered from Cubcoats. (In fact, it may have been from Cubcoats but I wasn't close enough to tell, ha.) I immediately told him how cool his mask is, because I think kids need all the encouragement they can to follow good health practices during these tough and decidedly strange times. Hey, if wearing a mask that looks like an adorable kitty, puppy, tiger, or bear cub makes mask-wearing less scary and weird, it's a brilliant idea. In fact, why not tell your kid that it makes every day like Halloween. I know my kids would be down with that, and they're teens.
