Girls' Mittens, Baby to Age 15
Girls' mittens have one warm pouch for the fingers and a separate thumb, and fingers kept together stay warmer, which is why mittens suit babies, pre-schoolers and anyone who feels the cold. If you are putting together a girls' coat with mittens, pick a pair that tucks under her sleeves. The collection covers girls aged 0 to 15 and sits next to the Gloves page.
Mittens are easier than gloves for small children to pull on alone, as there are no fingers to line up. For snow, sledging and wet playgrounds, look for girls' waterproof mittens and check the product title, because knitted pairs soak through quickly. To buy girls' mittens that fit, check the size on the product page, as mittens are not sized like her coat, and leave a little room at the fingertips.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sells girls' mittens online for ages 0 to 15, including knitted and waterproof pairs where the product title says so, with the size of each pair shown on its product page.
Should mittens go over or under a coat sleeve?
Under, in most cases. Tucking the cuff inside the sleeve stops snow and wind getting in at the wrist. For a 4-year-old, check that the cuff is long enough to stay tucked when she reaches up to the climbing frame.
When should I choose waterproof mittens instead of knitted ones?
Choose waterproof mittens for snow, sledging or wet playgrounds, where knitted pairs soak through in minutes. For dry cold around 0 to 5°C, knitted mittens are fine. The product title shows which pairs are waterproof.
