14 Halloween costumes that are built around protective face masks



Formerly, a "safe" halloween costume meant one that kept trick-or-treaters visible, couldn't be tripped over or wasn't made of questionable chemical-laced materials. But since 2020, "safe" has taken on a whole new meaning. While trick-or-treating may look a little different this year, that doesn't mean your little one has to skip out on all the fun (or candy).

Thanks to Etsy, parents can shop from a variety of creatively-themed face masks for their kids (or you!) that inspire the rest of a costume. These protective coverings will inspire or tie together costume ideas while also putting your child's health and safety first. Whether you plan on crafting a DIY Halloween costume or purchasing a kids costume kit from the store, these protective face masks will fit right in.
