The 9 Best Kids' Aprons to Protect From Spills and Splats

Whether you're testing out a new dinner recipe or whipping up a batch of holiday cookies, joining kiddos in the kitchen is a can't-fail way to log some quality time with delicious results (most of the time). Another expected byproduct of all that measuring, scooping, and stirring? A big ol' mess that'll likely extend from your kitchen counters and floors to the shirt and pants (and faces) of your junior chef.

That's where these kids' aprons come in. Sized just right for pint-sized cooks and bakers, they provide protection from spills and splats at a price that's typically more economical than buying new clothes to replace stained tops and pants. Moreover, they arrive in fun patterns and colors that'll help get little ones excited to hone their culinary skills. Read on for nine of the best kids' aprons to buy right now, from frilly pinafore-style aprons in pretty prints to solid-colored options complete with chefs' hats.
