Now that donning face masks is the new normal for the foreseeable future, it certainly pays to have choices, especially where our kids are concerned. Of course, there are plenty of reusable cotton coverings — and even face masks with filters for little ones! — but being able to see children's bright smiles is a big plus. Fortunately, some Etsy shops are selling face masks for kiddos that have a handy see-through window.
A great option that makes reading lips a whole lot easier for teachers and parents, clear masks can also benefit those who are deaf or hard of hearing, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention. Additionally, clear face masks allow children to see and interpret facial expressions, an important factor in their emotional and social development.
We've gone ahead and rounded up some of our favorite picks that will make finding the perfect option a whole lot easier. Plus, there are options for adults too! Scroll ahead to get a look!
