I hear from a lot of parents, grandparents and caregivers that it is very difficult to find gloves and mittens that will fit most toddlers. And it’s even harder to find mittens that toddlers actually want to wear! I originally created these mittens for my niece and nephew. My nephew was 13 month old at the time and was completely mesmerized by the eyes on his mittens. Mittens still fit and look great a year later! (I just checked last weekend).
