The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends all children over the age of 2 wear a face covering while in public. However, as most parents probably know by now, that is easier said than done.
It can be tough to help kids adjust to new routines, and convincing them to wear a face mask can be particularly challenging.
"Younger children in particular, can find them frightening," said Dr. Tovah Klein, director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development and author of "How Toddlers Thrive," previously told Shop TODAY. "For many children, putting a mask on can feel new and intrusive, which can cause challenges."
However, Klein notes that picking up a cheery, colorful design might make wearing a mask less intimidating for young children.
"For any child who is hesitant to wear a mask, making them child-friendly could be quite attractive. It also makes masks seem less threatening to a child if they have a child motif to them," Klein told us.
With this in mind, we've rounded up 14 different kid-friendly non-medical face masks you can order online and have shipped right to your door.
