Children’s Winter Gloves for School, Play and Outdoors

Measure the child’s hand, use the maker’s size guide and check that the glove stays on without restricting movement. Match warmth and waterproofing to the activity.

They help for wet play or rain, but may be less breathable. For dry school commutes, a comfortable fleece or knit pair may be enough.

A cuff that overlaps the jacket sleeve can reduce gaps and help keep the glove in place. Check that it is easy for the child to put on.

Follow the care label and dry gloves fully between outings. A spare pair can help if the first gets wet during play.
