Kids' Aprons

Let Them Make the Mess—We’ve Got the Apron Covered

Little hands tend to make big messes—but that’s half the fun.Our collection of kids' aprons is here to protect their clothes while encouraging creativity, curiosity, and a little healthy chaos. Whether they’re helping in the kitchen, digging in the garden, or building a pillow fort that “requires tools,” a good apron helps them jump into the action with confidence.

At Portland Apron Company, we offer a range of handmadekids' aprons in styles that are easy to wear, easy to wash, and even easier to love.With options from toddlers to big kids, our pieces are as practical as they are adorable—and yes, there are pockets, because kids need places to hide rocks, crayons, and half-eaten granola bars. (You know it’s true.) 

Choose the Style That Fits Their Needs

No two kids are alike—and thankfully, neither are our children’s aprons. At Portland Apron Co., we’ve got a handmade style to match their energy (and their height).

Everyday Children's Apron

This is the classic go-to:simple, adjustable, and durable. Designed with a traditional neck strap and tie-back waist, it comes in sizes forages 3–5 and5–8. It's great for daily wear and features front pockets for essential tools (or dandelions, obviously). Ideal for kids who want to dress like their grown-up kitchen idols.

Children’s Pinafore Apron

A tie-free, slip-on style that’s as cute as it is convenient. TheChildren's Pinafore features a cross-back design that makes it easy for kids to put on themselves—no adult intervention required, which is basically a parenting win. Best for ages 5–8, and complete with kangaroo pockets for extra snack concealment.

Youth Pinafore Apron

For older kids or tweens who are too big for the little-kid sizes but still want that handmade apron charm. TheYouth Pinafore is a longer, roomier version of the pinafore, great for growth spurts and advanced creative mess-making.

Made for Their Curiosity—Whatever Form It Takes

Kids don’t exactly specialize, and we love that. That’s why our aprons for kids are ready to handle it all: cooking, crafting, gardening, science experiments gone rogue, tea parties with elaborate mud menus, you name it. Wherever their imagination leads, our aprons follow. Each handmade kids’ apron is as versatile as the little person wearing it.
