Best face masks for kids: Cute picks from Disney, Etsy, Amazon and more

Face masks are a part of life now for many of us — including our children. While wearing face coverings is not recommended for kids under the age of 2, due to suffocation risks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does recommend that children over 2 wear masks when they’re in public and at risk of getting closer than 6 feet to anyone who’s not part of their own household.

Masks should fit snugly and cover the mouth and the nose — so for a proper fit, children may need smaller masks than adults. You can make your own masks with a few household items, or keep scrolling for a roundup of some of the cutest face masks you can buy for kids. Bonus: A lot of these retailers and brands are giving back, through either mask or monetary donations, to organizations in need.

Medium Star Wars Cloth Face Masks 4-Pack Set ($19.99; shopdisney.com)

If your little ones love “Star Wars” or anything Baby Yoda, this four-pack of masks is for them. But they’ll have to be patient, because Disney masks that are preordered now aren’t expected to ship until late July or early August. You can see more of Disney’s face masks here. They will all be available in small, medium and large, and the site explains how to measure.

So far, Disney has donated a million face masks to families in need across the US, and has raised $1 million through the sale of its cloth masks to be donated to MedShare to continue to support the medical community.
