12 Best Kids' Face Masks to Prevent Foggy Glasses

A great option for any child with a packed extra-curricular schedule, these surgical masks are designed to fit snugly against the face, with a tri-fold front that keeps comfort in mind. The masks' second inner nonwoven layer works to absorb excess moisture throughout the day, keeping hot breath away from lenses just above the mask's nose bridge clamp.

A reusable option for those who prefer it, this mask has been designed with safety top of mind — its built-in nanofiber membrane filter claims to protect against 99.9% of harmful pollutants and virus particles. Its unique convex structure keeps the mask up and away from your mouth, reducing muffling and condensation build-up.

Created and manufactured here in the United States, this polypropylene-based surgical mask is disposable after a day's use at school. Packing extra masks in your child's school bag will ensure they have fresh coverage all day; as masks become moist with condensation, a child can swap them out in the bathroom, at recess, or between classes. 

This adorable set comes as a pack of five masks designed for each school day during the week. Designed in a wide range of sizes for students across grades and ages, the cotton-based reusable masks come with a washing bag to make weekly routines that much easier. The upward design of the flexible nose bridge interacts perfectly with your child's glasses', allowing the frames to rest just atop the masks' upper seal.

Barbie's not the only beloved character bringing joy to masking routines during the pandemic — Harry Potter, Batman, Paw Patrol, and Hello Kitty are just a few design inspirations for these petite surgical masks. The brand is donating a portion of its proceeds towards COVID-19 relief funds with every box purchased (read more about its mission here). 

Another solid reusable option, Vistaprint's cloth mask has a signature convex-style nose pouch in its design that helps keep masks up and off your child's mouth. The extra room may make it easier for breath to be pushed out of the mask's front rather than saturate its interior lining. An added bonus? There are countless designs in Vistaprint's collection your little one will love — from DC to Harry Potter, Crayola-themed options to completely custom designs using your own images.

Individually sealed masks are a solution for activities out of the house, as they're invaluable in places where hands may be dirty (think: the playground!). There are more than 10 designs and prints used to create the disposable surgical-style masks in this bulk box — a great solution for siblings to share on the fly.

Leave it to your little ones to find a way to get their masks soaked. Because wet surgical and cloth masks can be a suffocation hazard (it's much harder to breathe through!), this personal protective equipment manufacturer has created a water-repellant reusable mask for all ages. The pure cotton lining can help keep things dry, however, and maintain hot breath throughout the day.

Wearing a mask while running about is a tall order for most kids, but the sporty nature of these performance wear-based face masks help to make masking up less of a strain overall. The mesh polyester lining is easier to breathe through while playing sports or other games. And since it comes with an elastic ear loop binding to secure to the back of one's head, it won't wear your ears down after a long afternoon. 

Machine washable and guaranteed for at least 100 cycles, Enro's streamlined cloth mask contains an additional filtration layer while remaining breathable for long periods of time. The outer fabric layer is water repellant, and the interior lining remains comfortable throughout the day and sits up and above your child's face. This is a great option for kids (with many different designs!) spending lots of time outdoors given its outer shell. 

An inexpensive option that can be washed and reused, Cubcoats' matching face masks are a favorite for younger kids who love to twin it up with their stuffed animals. Because the masks are designed to fold up into a wristlet or an accessory for the toy itself, this mask is often a great way to send a backup to school that won't end up lost. The 3-ply cotton and polyester blend can work to ensure hot breath doesn't end up all over your child's glasses.

If your child is involved in a speech learning program, a clear mask may make learning that much easier. Rafi Nova's mask design includes a rising flat front with a bendable nose bridge to allow kids to simply place their glasses atop the mask. Plus, the brand sells additional anti-fogging solutions for its clear plastic speech windows to make sure steam doesn't mark up this mask either.
