The double sided face mask has a front surface representing a face and a back surface representing a face. The mask has an aperture in about the nose or mouth area which is adapted to couple with an airway device gas line opening. The face mask is disposable and is easily stored and used.

Use of the facemask during a medical procedure can place a child at ease and increases acceptance of airway or anesthesia masks.
