Gloves for Kids: Keeping Little Hands Warm in the Cold Winter

This way, nothing stands in the way of outdoor adventures in snow and ice.
Gloves for Kids: A Relic from the Stone Age
The workers on the construction site next to the kindergarten wear them, the goalkeeper of the favourite football team does too, and even real-life princesses are often seen with them. No wonder, as there are many good reasons for a pair of gloves. As early as the Stone Age, people covered their hands with a type of ""proto-glove"" made of fur and bone clasps to protect them from cold and injuries while hunting or gathering herbs, mushrooms, and berries. Since then, gloves have become better, more practical, and of course, much more stylish. They are still meant to protect and keep warm. Today, gloves come in countless designs and materials, depending on where and why they are worn. But why are they called ""gloves""? The answer to this popular children's question lies in the language. The word comes from the Old High German ""scuoh,"" which means ""cover"" or ""enclose."" At least this is what the fashionable accessory for warm hands shares with footwear.
Mittens: Thumbs Up for Easy Wearing
Not only children, but also parents secretly long for summer during the morning dressing routine in the cold season. While hats and scarves are quickly slipped on and the jacket fits perfectly, gloves often prove to be a tricky patience game until each finger finds its right opening. For babies and toddlers, mittens with or without a thumb compartment that can be easily slipped over the whole hand are particularly suitable. Our tip: Put on your child's gloves first. This saves you from tedious stuffing. Jacket sleeves and gloves seamlessly blend into each other, preventing cold from entering even when arms are stretched upwards.
Children's Gloves: Ten Fingers of Winter Fun
If your child can already help a bit or even dress and undress independently, it's time for finger gloves. While mittens, with their fingers grouped together, have the edge in warmth, finger gloves allow for better ""grasping"" of the winter landscape. Children's gloves made of wool or a wool blend are particularly suitable. This wonder fibre, with its perfect moisture management, is ideal for long, action-packed outdoor stays. This is due to the interplay between the two components of the wool fibre: The outer shell, thanks to its natural fat content, is water-repellent but allows water vapour to escape into the fibre core. Wool can absorb an astonishing 30-35 percent of its weight in moisture without feeling damp. Small air pockets inside the fibre simultaneously retain body heat. Sweat, cold, or moisture have no chance.
Waterproof Children's Gloves: Perfect for Building Snowmen
As with other clothing items, sometimes gloves need to be a bit more. Especially when a long stay in the snow is planned, ordinary winter clothing often isn't enough. Now, extra waterproofing is required, otherwise sledding, skiing, or hiking fun quickly ends with wet clothes and a cold. Therefore, during such activities, you naturally pay attention to the right snow boots to keep your child's feet warm and, above all, dry. The hands deserve at least the same attention, not only because cold hands are simply uncomfortable. The body's immune system only works properly when all limbs are evenly supplied with blood. If hands and feet get wet, for example, while playing in the snow, they cool down even faster. With waterproof, breathable, and windproof gloves that are also well-lined, you play it safe. They are also easy to clean and, unlike wool gloves, can be dried on the heater. This way, they are quickly ready for the next adventure.
