Definitely, Leighann! When it comes to kids’ headphones, a volume-limiting feature is definitely an important one to have. But, it doesn’t hurt to have cute ones to look at either! Here are a few picks: 

The Griffin MyPhones (above) have a kid-friendly design and not only offer great sound quality, but
also protect ears at the same time. They are designed with an internal
circuit that prevents volume from exceeding 85 decibels. There is an adjustable headband which will
fit kids of all ages, and it comes with its own carrying case too.
($39.99) 
Kids will get a kick out of these Califone bear headphones. There’s a volume control switch directly on the cord, as
well as ambient-noise reducing earcups that will prevent kids from
having to turn up the volume too high. Other animal options include a 
panda and tiger. Very cute. ($13.99) 
Kidz Gear children’s headphones are a high quality option with both
built-in volume control and independent volume controls, for the ultimate
protection. They were designed with all the same components you’d find
with adult headphones, just in a smaller size for tots. ($17.99) -Jeana
