Girls' Mittens for Ages 2 to 8
Mittens are the easiest way to keep small hands warm, as the fingers sit together and share their heat. These are for girls aged 2 to 8, from the first winters at nursery to the early years of school. Young children find mittens easier to pull on by themselves than gloves, which helps on cold mornings when everyone is trying to get out of the door. Pair them with a hat and a padded coat for walks and playtime outside.
Mittens are not sized like her coat, so check the size on the product page. A good fit leaves a little room at the fingertips and reaches past her wrist. If she is between sizes, go up one. Tuck each mitten under the coat sleeve rather than over it to keep wind and snow out. Check the care label on each pair before washing, and dry them flat away from the radiator.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's mittens collection for girls contains warm winter mittens for ages 2 to 8, for nursery, school runs and cold playtimes, with the size of each pair shown on its product page.
What size mittens does a 5-year-old need?
Check the size on the product page, then see how her hands sit inside. For a 5-year-old, about 1 cm of room at the fingertips is right, and the cuff should reach past her wrist so no skin shows.
How do I keep mittens on a 3-year-old who keeps pulling them off?
Tuck the cuffs under her coat sleeves so they are harder to tug loose, and use a clip or a string through the sleeves. At 3, mittens that go on quickly cause fewer battles, so let her practise at home.
