As New York continues to reopen, wearing a mask is one of the best ways to keep yourself, and those around you, safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. While we know children under two are instructed to not wear a mask, kids ages three and older can and should. Finding the right mask for your kid can be challenging, whether it’s finding one that fits your little one’s noggin or finding a design that your kid will be excited about. Here are some cute, colorful, and stylish masks that your kids will proudly wear (and some that donate proceeds to good causes!).
