        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wearing masks to school might not appeal to kids as much as dressing up for Trick or Treat — but Crayola thinks it can make the practice entertaining as children prepare to head back to classrooms amid a resurging COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p>The crayon maker collaborated with manufacturer SchoolMaskPack to create a &#8220;five-day mask system for kids,&#8221; which <strong>Parents magazine touted</strong> as &#8220;this year’s must-have back-to-school item.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s looking more and more like wearing masks is the new normal,&#8221;&nbsp; says SchoolMaskPack spokesperson Hans Lao. &#8220;You should want a fresh mask every day like you want a fresh pair of underwear each day.&#8221;</p><p><strong>Available for preorder now</strong>, the five-mask packages cost $29.99 for kids sizes and $39.99 for adults and will arrive from their Thailand factory to US warehouses by the end of the month, then ship to customers at the beginning of August, according to Lao.</p><figure id="attachment_15994096"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/sized-schoolmaskpack-mom.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/sized-schoolmaskpack-mom.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/sized-schoolmaskpack-mom.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span class="credit">SchoolMaskPack</span></figcaption></figure><p>Kids can choose from masks in brightly colored solids or with whimsical images of smiling bug-eyed crayons or sleepy orange suns. The masks also come in adult-friendly stripes or solids. Kids can write their names on a tag sewn into each mask. A bead on the ear flaps will enable wearers to adjust the fit.</p><p>The makers intend for children to wear a different mask each day, then place them in a mesh bag that comes with each set so their parents can easily launder them over the weekend.</p><p>Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that children are not at a greater risk than adults of contracting the virus, it recommends that kids <strong>older than 2 wear masks</strong> in public settings.</p><figure id="attachment_15994114"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/sized-schoolmakspack-mesh.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/sized-schoolmakspack-mesh.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/sized-schoolmakspack-mesh.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span class="credit">SchoolMaskPack</span></figcaption></figure><p>Founded in 1885 by Binney &amp; Smith in 1885, Crayola, which has given the world colors like laser lemon, tumbleweed, and carnation pink, belongs to Hallmark. This mask venture is the company&#8217;s first collaboration with SchoolMaskPack.</p>]]></content:encoded>
