If you’re one of the parents who’s a little bit (or a lot, that’s ok!) nervous about the kids returning back to school amongst the emergence of the Delta variant, you’re not alone. We are also nervous of all the uncertainties and like everyone else, we just want the virus to go away. Meanwhile, we’ve compiled several items that are simply outstanding in helping us follow recommended health protocols. Please read on, if you’d like.

I want to clap my hands and loudly say bravo to the inventor of this ingenious product, that looks as stylish as it’s practical (is it an Apple Watch?). Clean your hands with one press on the portable and wearable hand sanitizer dispenser. It has an integrated cross seal valve, so once you’ve squeezed out the liquid, the seal closes automatically and prevents any liquid from spilling. I really like the shape and how minimalist it looks. You could even color coordinate the sanitizer dispenser to your OOTD. Nice!

Wash your hands at public restrooms, at the park, or anywhere you’re not sure soaps would be readily available (have you seen the boys restroom at their school?). These soap sheets are made of eco-friendly and pure natural plant extract. Just like regular hand soaps, they deep cleanse your hands. How to use: simply take out a soap sheet, wet it with a small amount of water, then gently rub your hands to produce foam and finally clean your hands with water. Isn’t it great or what?

This masks solved the problem of face masks fitting perfectly on children of different ages (and face shapes). With adjustable ear loops and wired nose bridge area, these masks ensure full and airtight protection of nose and mouth area, so you could feel safe knowing your children are protected. These kids disposable face masks are made of two layers of non-woven cloth, two layers of melt-blown fabric and one layer of hot air cotton with filter efficiency of 95%. Tip: have your children practice adjusting the ear loops with your supervision so they’ll know which adjustment position is the best. Click here for the adult masks version.

This is another great product. The mask lanyard keeps masks from slipping and falling to the ground (or from being lost). It also relieves pressure on your ears from wearing a mask for a long period of time. The adjustable buckle in the back is suitable for any size wearer. Just slip it on your neck and let your mask hang free when it’s not being used. We love this product, especially for kids!

Keep face masks in a designated place and attach it to your children’s backpack for easy access. Always visible, it’s easy to make sure your child always has a fresh face mask for each school day. Keep your lives organized, keep your family health a priority. Tip: you could easily clean the outside and inside of the case with a sanitizing wipe.

This is a great product to get children (and adults) get in the habit of cleaning hands properly. When you use these colored hand soap, you’d see which hand area you’ve washed or missed. The soaps also features a delayed rinse formula to encourage you to scrub a little longer. Steps to use: pump 1–2 drops, paint hands and scrub under running water until color is gone. The soap is formulated to require at least 20 seconds of scrubbing for it to be completely washed off. No timer or songs required for the little ones to get into good handwashing habit. If you’d like a travel size version, check out this one.

We love individually wrapped sanitizing hand wipes, because being individually wrapped ensures the cleanliness of each wipe. Put one in your kids’ lunchboxes, sports bags, school bags and pockets. Each individual wipe is saturated with 62% ethyl alcohol and very easy for most kids of all ages to use. If you prefer a small travel pack of wipes, these Lysol one is great.

Another great product that we always stock at home. Purell brand can always be trusted (even hospitals use their products) and we feel safe with these hand sanitizer gels as added protection. The single pack offers an easy way to sanitize your hands. Just bend a pack in the middle and squirt. The manufacturer claims this product to kill 99.99 percent of most common germs that may cause illness, without damaging skin, even after repeated use.

Tip: We advise to keep all sanitizing and cleaning products in their own special pouch to keep them from being contaminated from germs often found in keys, coins, wallets and even cellphones. We like these waterproof, transparent pouch bags. You could easily see what’s inside, which is great hack to easily organize your stuff.
