25 Kid-Friendly Face Masks Little Ones Will Love
Honest
Few things are certain about what school will be like for kids this year, but one thing's for sure: Face masks should be on your back-to-school shopping list, whether your kids are attending classes in person or remotely.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise that unvaccinated people, including children ages two and older, wear masks over their nose and mouth in all public indoor settings to help stop the spread of the Delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19. Additionally, 12 out of the 20 biggest U.S. school districts will require students to wear face masks when classes start this fall, according to a recent CNN report.
Even as vaccination rates increase, face masks are still a necessity, especially for kids headed back into the classroom. If you need to stock up, keep an eye out for masks that fit snug and cover the nose and mouth with multiple layers of fabric (while still allowing airflow), as recommended by the CDC.
There are plenty of places to shop breathable face masks in kid-friendly sizes and designs. You can even find face masks for kids from familiar brands like Athleta, Gap, Honest Company, Crayola, and more.
Ahead, take a look at 25 of the best face masks for kids you can shop online today. You might even find a couple for yourself while you're at it.
