The Best Kids Disposable Face Masks on Amazon and Target

by Bethany Braun-Silva

Shop the best kids disposable face masks from Amazon and Target, starting at just 30 cents a piece.

We’ve seen many different kids face masks and face coverings hit the market recently since the Centers for Disease Control recommended everyone over the age of 2 wear one when social distancing isn't possible. If you’re not sure which type of face mask to buy, researchers at Duke University ranked the best face coverings, with disposable face masks coming in as the second-best option for protecting against the spread of the novel coronavirus, just after the N95 masks reserved for healthcare workers.

Not only are disposable masks a safe option for kids thanks to their one-time-use wear and three-ply protection, but they’re also super practical. As kids head back to school and social distancing guidelines loosen up, they will need to wear a face mask every day, and disposable face masks are a quick and easy option that save parents the hassle of having to wash a reusable cloth face mask in a pinch. They make the new double-masking trend easy, too. Your child can simply double up and wear two disposable masks or choose a fun cloth mask to put over the throw-away coverings.

Plus, disposable face masks for kids come in bulk packs, so one affordable purchase can mean being stocked with up to 50 face masks at a time. We also love the idea of having disposable face masks as a reserve. Keeping a few on hand in your bag, car, or even your kid's backpack can save the day should you forget to bring your reusable face mask or drop yours on the ground.

We found great options for kids that parents are raving about, and despite being disposable, many of the masks come in cute, kid-friendly prints that make wearing them not so scary. Parents say these single-use face masks for kids from Basic Resources "fit perfectly" and are "made well." While another shopper says the Just Play Kids masks "are super soft and great for school. They fit my daughters really well."

"I bought these for my kids, one pack for the girl, and one pack for the boy. My kids are 6 and 8, and these fit them perfectly. We tried using hand-made cloth masks and they didn't like them; these are much more comfortable."
