I never thought I would be searching for face masks as part of my kids' back-to-school shopping routine, but here we are. Even if your child isn't headed back to school, they may still need a face mask to be out and about, and having a stack of fun kids face masks from Etsy will get your kids excited about mask-wearing.

The upside to all of this mask shopping of course is that, just like clothing and accessories, face masks are just one more way kids can express themselves and their individuality. For instance, my 6-year-old has requested a back-to-school face mask that makes him "look like a puppy." It was the cutest thing to watch him get excited about the potential of having a fun mask to wear when he finally gets to return to school.

Shopping for kids' face masks is almost like shopping for a backpack. Whether your kids are into Star Wars, they love llamas, or want to show off some sparkle, there is a fun face mask out there that they won't mind wearing. An almost overwhelming amount of choices exist, but these fun kids face masks from Etsy should give your kiddos a few ideas for when it's time to wear their mask.

We only include products that have been independently selected by Romper's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Pikachu's Face

If your little one trades Pokemon cards like they're going out of style (except they haven't since the late '90s and surely never will), this is the face mask for them. With Pikachu's adorable red-cheeked face on this triple-layered cotton and polyester mask, your child will be protected.

Groovy Tie-Dye

For older kids who may not want a cartoon character, animal, or sparkly design on their face mask, a tie dye face mask is a great option.
