The children's masks are smaller than the adult size and use a softer, narrower elastic for the ear loops (3/16 inch elastic). Beads were placed on the ear loops to enable adjustment. There are three layers to the masks and are reversible and washable - two layers of quilters cotton and a layer of non-woven fusible interfacing
