Anybody got a zine or other handout for kids about how to wear a mask?

My kiddo has been giving colourful kn95s to other interested kids... but those kids often have no info on how to wear them properly, how to handle them safely, why bother, etc. I have printables for grown-ups but it would be rad to have something cute and easy to read for the under 10 crowd.

@beandreams If this is not already a thing, it is an excellent idea and should be made a thing. (And if you don't mind it taking an extremely long time and being made by someone who has never made a zine, I happily volunteer

)

@niji_limbo I will keep you posted! I was thinking this too-- if I can't find one I'd love to make one but I need collaborators

@beandreams Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

@niji_limbo @beandreams I would expect it’s in one of the back issues here!

@cwicseolfor @niji_limbo Oh GOOD CALL. I forgot about the WHN kid zone! If I find something good in the archives I will post the link. Thank you!

@beandreams @niji_limbo Page 15 in the second issue isn’t bad (and has links to different styles) but it seems like they’re expecting parents who obtain these for kids to be familiarizing kids with the basics. Discussion interspersed throughout though. Hmmmm.

@beandreams @niji_limbo Ooh! Donning demos in the reviews of styles, page 7 of issue 9!

@cwicseolfor @niji_limbo Thanks for finding the pages! I also really like the Pillars of Prevention overview from issue 1 (pp 4-5, 7-8).

I might message them about making a compilation of masking basics from their back issues. I bet they'd be up for me doing that

@beandreams If I remember, there were educational videos for kids during Covid on YouTube about masks. Guess that's more the medium for the target group.

@violetblue Hey thanks! I knew the magazine but didn't realize they had the individual pages as separate resources. That's so handy
