Kids Hooded Towels

A kids hooded towel is a poncho-style towel with a built-in hood that children can pull on by themselves after a swim. It dries them off, keeps them warm between dips and makes getting changed at the beach or pool much easier for everyone. Our kids hooded towels come in bright colours and fun designs that are easy to spot on a busy beach.

Kids Hooded Beach Towels

A kids hooded beach towel stays on while they build sandcastles, eat lunch or walk back to the car. There's no towel to drop in the sand or blow away in the wind, and the hood keeps wet hair covered when the breeze picks up. For parents, it means one less thing to hold.

For the Pool, Swim Lessons and Bath Time

Hooded towels are a favourite for swimming lessons: kids can slip one on as soon as they leave the water and stay covered while they get changed. At home, a hooded towel makes bath time easier too. Pop it on straight out of the bath or shower and let them dry off while they play.

Tip: kids grow fast. If they're between sizes, choose the bigger one so the towel lasts more than one summer.

Hooded Towels for Teens

Older kids and teenagers often outgrow kids sizes but find adult ponchos too long. Look for the teen sizes in this collection, or choose the smallest size in our adult hooded towels range using the height guide.

Matching Hooded Towels for the Whole Family

Many of our designs come in both kids and adult sizes, so the whole family can match on beach day. Browse our adult hooded towels to find the grown-up version.

How to Choose a Kids Hooded Towel

Size

Choose by height rather than age alone. The towel should fall around the knees, with enough room for kids to get changed underneath.

Fabric

Microfibre is light, quick-drying and easy to pack for the beach. Cotton is thicker and softer, great for bath time and cooler days.

Design

Bright colours and bold prints make kids easy to spot and help them recognise their own towel at the pool or at school swimming carnivals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is a kids hooded towel for?

Kids hooded towels suit children from around toddler age up to the pre-teen years, depending on the size. Check the size guide above and choose by height.

Can kids put on a hooded towel by themselves?

Yes. The poncho shape simply slips over the head, so most children can put it on and take it off without help.

What size hooded towel should I buy for my child?

Measure your child's height and compare it with the size guide. If they're between two sizes, choose the larger one so there's room to grow.

Do you have matching adult and kids hooded towels?

Yes. Several designs are available in both kids and adult sizes. Look for the matching designs in our adult hooded towels collection.

How do I wash a kids hooded towel?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours and hang out to dry. Rinse out sand and salt water after each beach day to keep the fabric soft.
