School is starting soon and it is mandatory in PA for all students to wear a mask while attending classes. This has created a challenge for me as my kids have a really difficult time keeping their masks on. So when I set out to find the perfect masks that would excite them enough to want to wear them, I was surprised by how many talented, local mask makers we have surrounding us! Then to find out that PPE goes beyond basic masks with accessories, matching doll masks, face shields, you name it! Back-to-school shopping looks a little different this year!! Show your community some love and purchase your masks LOCAL! Be sure to mention you saw them on Macaroni Kid ;)Click on the PINK links to take you to the company or individuals web page to view more!!! Don't forget to order extra so you can change your mask frequently!

 | Friendly Shields Friendly Shields are face shields that have interchangeable, customizable and all of our toppers are dry erasable. We believe that PPE gear should not limit your personality or style. Our shields are anti-fog, one size fits both children and adults. The toppers can be attached to any elastic band shield as well. The toppers were designed for kids and the adults who support them but can support anyone that needs a face covering. @friendlyshields |

 | All masks are made from 100% cotton and are reversible. I use a double wire nosepiece in each mask and plush elastic to make adjustable ear loops. Masks come in three sizes: SMALL (2-6 years old) MEDIUM (7-12 years old) LARGE (13+) All masks are $5 each and can be picked up in McMurray, PA. I can mail masks for $5 for 1-5 masks and an additional $1/mask or $8/10 masks. For example: 6 masks would be $5 shipping for the first 5 + $1 for the extra mask = $6 shipping total ($36 order total) 12 masks would be $8 shipping for the first 10 + $2 for the extra 2 masks = $10 shipping total ($70 order total) Order HERE |
