I get that not everything your child does makes for a good photo opportunity, but some things are just naturally picturesque. And when they're all wrapped up in a hooded towel — it's just too cute for words. Aside from being adorable, hooded towels for kids are also practical because they get your baby or child warm and dry quickly, from their head down to their toes.
Soft, warm, and absorbent terry towels are made into the coziest of hooded towels. There are character towels for kids who are way into superheroes (read: all of them), floral hooded towels for babies and even extra-large hooded towels to take to the beach.
I chose these towels based on softness, style, affordability, and how easy they are to launder. Because if we're being honest, no one wants a towel that starts to unravel after the first few uses. Below are the 10 coziest, cutest, warmest hooded towels for kids that will get them excited for bathtime, pool time, and everything in between.
Fast fashion is a serious problem that's hurting our environment (amongst other things), and baby products are no exception. But when you buy Burt's Bees Baby towels, you can rest assured that it's made with organic cotton and built to last — all at an affordable price.
The gender-neutral design is really chill and almost looks like suiting for babies, which is about the cutest thing ever.

When your children start to get a little bigger, the size of their hooded towel needs to reflect that — but it doesn't mean it can't still be completely adorable. This large lion hooded towel is just as soft as the towels for babies and is equally absorbent. Plus, it gives your toddler plenty of room to dry off and even room to grow.
You have never said “aww” so meaningfully as you will when you wrap your baby in this elephant hooded towel. It is a towel that will get your kid genuinely excited to take a bath, which for toddlers can be a real feat. It’s sized for babies and toddlers, with the terry soothing against baby’s skin.
The plush elephant hood is almost cushioned, but not so much that it won’t dry properly in the dryer.
My kids were obsessed with superheroes when they were in preschool, and they absolutely loved this towel. It’s pretty utilitarian as hooded towels for kids go — the real draw is the characters. The Hulk, Spiderman, and Iron Man adorn the terry towel, making kids oh so excited to get to use it. It’s as great after a bath as it is at the pool or beach.
This is no sad beige towel. This rainbow hooded towel doubles as a colorful cover-up and is a pure explosion of happiness. It’s meant to bring joy while it dries, and it does it well. It also snaps on the side so your kid can run around the water park without it flapping in the wind, or they can just hang out after a bath in front of the television.
It's covered in rubber duckies, everyone. Rubber. Duckies. It's almost too twee for words — but that's not even the best part. The best part is that everything that Copper Pearl makes is spectacular, and this towel is a great example of the brand's reputation. It's soft, it's easy to launder, and it's extremely durable. Your baby will love being swaddled dry with their little ducks.
I could not write this list without including cult-favorite brand Posh Peanut. Every pattern has become a hot commodity, and their hooded towels for kids are some of the most sought-after items. They are gorgeous, obviously, but more importantly, they are luxuriously soft, washable, and absorbent. They're the real deal and also make wonderful baby shower gifts.
This is the perfect oversized hooded towel for kids to wear to the beach, the pool, or to simply wrap themselves in after a bath. It's 50x30 inches, which is essentially the size of a standard adult towel, but the hood and snaps make it a great choice for your kids. It's a useful, fun towel that your kids will get many years out of.
Bamboo is one of the most-renewable materials for fabric. And in my opinion, it’s one of the softest. Bamboo is great for towels because its nature and breathability allow it to dry quickly and is, therefore, less likely to get that mildewy smell that some towels get.
And can we talk about how well this bamboo towel cleans? You can bleach it, OxiClean it, pre-treat it, let it bleach in the sun, whatever you need to do, this towel can take it.
Who doesn’t love a monogrammed baby towel? Yes, it’s a bit extra, but that’s what makes it so great. Can you imagine taking a picture of your baby for their birth announcement in a monogrammed hooded towel? This set is so adorable that it actually hurts to describe it.
Bonus points: It’s extremely soft, so your newborn is likely to snuggle and snooze in it.

Alex Cooper is preaching a "fake it till you make it" mentality when it comes to confidence, sharing in a recent interview that experiencing bullying and low self-esteem in her past has propelled her path into the spotlight. "When I was younger, I was so invested in having an outlet because I was severely bullied. My escape was going into my basement and picking up a movie camera and producing a music video or a short film. I found a lot of comfort in being able to express myself and feeling not judged," the host and producer of the Call Her Daddy podcast told the New York Times Magazine. "Creating content has always been a form of self-expression that has made me feel seen, that made me feel I am worthy and have something to show that I’m good at."
