Flipp Tip: Some schools may require students to wear a face covering. Although there is still a lot of uncertainty around back to school guidelines during COVID-19, it’s better to be overprepared. Check out fabric stores like Jo-Ann or Michael’s for fun fabric patterns for DIY face coverings. Here are three different ways to make your own face mask.

This will be your little one’s first school experience, so make sure they have the supplies they need to express their creativity after studying their ABC’s.
