Kids' ear protection earmuffs

  • Meltdowns
  • Transitions
  • Ages 3+

Why I recommend it

Dr. Hayley Crain, child psychologist

Loud places can be a lot for some kids. These earmuffs turn the noise down at fireworks, parties, sports games and busy stores, so your child can stay and enjoy more of it. Knowing they are in the bag can help, too.

How to use it

  1. Practice wearing them at home for short bits so they feel normal.
  2. Bring them to places you know will be loud.
  3. Let your child decide when to put them on and take them off.

Try saying

“If it gets too loud, your earmuffs are right here.”

Good to know

They lower noise but do not block it fully. Stay close in very loud places like fireworks.
