Mittens

Minimum of 2 pairs but 3+ is better (Full day children will need 3 pairs!)
The ones with the long elasticized cuffs that pull on over the snowsuit are ideal. Short mittens
leave a gap between sleeve and mitten which gets full of snow which is uncomfortable and
cold!
Gloves are not acceptable.
As we strongly encourage independence, children should be taught to put their mittens on last. Do not put them under their snowsuits! We are often taking our mitts off and on for a variety of reasons and this makes it very challenging. As well, this means
they are unable to do anything for themselves.
