So far, my DD likes pleated masks, they don't seem to move around as much as the pointed one ones. Any recommendations? |
I've seen people post liking the carter's ones but they don't have a nose wire. I just make my own. Easy. |
The organic ones from Alex and Nova.kind of stretchy and fitted jersey material so they form to the face and stay above the nose all the time. Also easy to hook on the ears. Pricey but my kids only want to wear them. |
Vistaprint |
I’ve bought a lot of brands. Gap has been the best, followed by old Navy. They worst has been target because they are too big in the face. |
My kiddo really likes the Crayola masks. And I bought a bunch off Etsy, at varying levels of fit and quality. |
Gaiters. Found 2 packs on Amazon. |
My kids will only wear the Old Navy ones for long periods of time. |
Only if you have a sewing machine and know how to sew..... |

These masks are expensive but fit my preschooler very well. The elastic goes behind the head and neck which is more comfortable for DS. And he can put them on and take them off easily by himself. |
What pattern do you use? Craft Passion didn't work for my 4 year old. |
Vistaprint |
I just use the kids size (I think 5x7 but I'd have to look) pleated and put interfacing in it as well as a nose wire and make it either straps, elastic or both around the head vs. ears. I think the pleated fit more people but some of it is preference on how big someone likes it. I've tried a few other styles and pleated wins. I think around the head works better vs. ears and is more comfortable. |
Its not hard to sew a basic pleated mask. It takes practice and after a few dozen it gets easier. Now that I've done hundreds very easy. |
My older daughter likes these a lot, but I don't think they're worth it for a preschooler who may need multiple masks a day and may lose them! They're expensive! Carters masks are $3 each and fit my 4 year old better than the Vistaprint masks, FWIW. |
