There’s a lot of uncertainty going into this school year. One thing is for sure, though: Kids attending in-person classes need to wear a face mask to help protect themselves and others from COVID-19.
To make sure your kids will actually wear their masks all day, get them ones that fit their personalities that they’ll actually want to show off. Make sure they’re comfortable and fit their faces properly, too, or they’ll be tugging at them nonstop.
We’ve seen face masks for kids come in all sorts of fun designs, whether that’s interesting patterns or themes from popular children’s TV shows and movies. Just make sure your kids know that their masks should only be worn by them.
You gon send your kid to school with the Paw Patrol mask and he gon come home with a Spider Man mask because he made a trade at lunch. Whole school gon be shut down the next day.

Even if your child is not heading back to school, they still should be wearing a mask while out in public. Here’s where you can find reusable and disposable face masks made just for kids.
Go with something simple or get creative and customize your kid’s face mask at Vistaprint. There are pre-made options with some fun patterns, but you can also add your own photos and designs to really make kids want to wear their masks.
You already know Amazon is in on the mask game. There you’ll find cutesy reusable masks as well as disposable masks. Here are a few of our top picks for kids’ masks you can find at Amazon.
There are *tons* of fun face masks to sift through from MaskClub, including licensed logos and branding from Paw Patrol to Spongebob Squarepants to Sesame Street. Plus, there are just some cool designs like tie dye and camo.
Etsy has been a haven for buying masks during this pandemic. You can get some really cute pieces of fabric and help support small businesses. Obviously that doesn’t just stop at adult masks — there are a bunch of sellers making masks for kids, too. Here are a few of our faves, but there are way more great shops to check out.
This handbag company has been cranking out face masks from its extra materials and has some nice color options for kids. The masks are pleated like surgical masks and have adjustable ear loops to snugly fit a child’s head. They come in packs of five with a couple different color combos.
Another customizable option, Custom Ink offers five-packs of triple-ply masks made just for kids. You can choose from four base colors and then start designing from there. Note that you have to buy a minimum of four packs (20 masks) to place an order.
Gap has three-packs of masks that come in a handful of cute patterns. There are some simple, subtle ones and some loud, colorful ones. The masks are pleated and have elastic ear loops.
Target has a two-pack of simple kids’ face masks for really cheap. If your kid doesn’t want anything flashy, this is a nice option. The ear loops are not adjustable, so they might be loose on smaller children.
For all the Disney fans, you might want to shop directly from the source. The Disney store offers four-packs of masks with themes. There are Star Wars, Pixar, Marvel, princesses, character noses, and Mickey and Minnie sets.
