18 Best Face Masks for Kids of 2024

We particularly like this face mask for kids because it can be used either with or without a filter. Using it with the filter provides five layers of protection but, if you forget the filter or run out of them, using it without still gives you two layers.

In addition, they are sized specifically for children, and there are 32 colors and designs to choose from. The ear loops are adjustable, so they fit a range of ages, and the nose piece can be molded to the bridge of the nose.

The soft cotton ear loops are adjustable, and there is an adjustable closure, which together makes it easier to get a good, snug fit.

These masks turn inside out and fold up to become cute animal faces with a wrist strap on the back. Your child can then use the strap and wear the mask on their wrist until it is needed again.

These are a standard three-ply disposable mask with elastic earloops and a bendable nose piece. They come in a box of 50, and you can either choose a package with a variety of patterns or 50 of the same mask. There are a lot of fun kid-friendly patterns to choose from, such as rockets, cars, Disney characters, and rainbows.

At 3.6 inches by 5.6 inches, they are at the smaller end of the size spectrum, but then the patterns are unlikely to appeal to bigger kids, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

With three layers of 100 percent cotton fabric and elastic ear loops that have adjusters for a great fit, these masks are so cute you’ll want one for yourself.

The masks are machine washable and come out of the laundry as bright and well-shaped as when they went in.

If you have kids, like mine, that make an art form out of forgetting things, then ICU’s pouch pack might be just what you are looking for.

The pack comes with ten standard, plain blue surgical style masks that are sized for kids from 5 to 10 years. However, what made this pack a winner in my eyes is that it comes with a zippered pouch designed to hold all ten masks.

This is wonderful for leaving in the backpack of your forgetful child, so they’ll never be without a mask at school.

In our home, we love the look of these kids’ face masks from Wild Republic. There was no problem getting any of the little ones to put on a mask if it meant they could have sharp, pointy teeth and an animal grin.

The downsides are that, although they fit well, there isn’t a noseband for you to shape to your child’s nose, the ear loops are not elastic, and the fabric is a poly-cotton blend rather than 100 percent cotton, although there are two layers.

With a standard size, style, and shape, the Martex Health face mask is a reasonable choice for your older kids, especially as the three-pack is the same price as many single masks.

Another cotton-poly blend mask, these make up for the fact they are not 100 percent cotton by having a three-layer construction. There isn’t a filter pocket, and the elastic ear loops are not adjustable. It is for these reasons the masks are not further up on the list.
