10 Reviews: Best Mittens for Toddlers (Dec 2023)

With a snug combination of Omni-Heat™ reflective material that reflects body heat and Omni-Heat™ material that is breathable and waterproof, the Columbia Whirlibird Kids’ Gloves are a great addition for outdoor adventure. The gauntlet-style wrist and adjustable strap keep out the rain and cold while giving a tailored fit for all-day comfort.

My five year old uses these for skiing, they are awesome, keep her warm and don't fall off like other brands we have used. They tighten around the wrist too.

Not only are these mittens attractive, but they’re also high-quality snow gear. These mittens are water-resistant and have a breathable inside to keep your baby’s hands dry. They feature just one pocket and no thumb, making them simple to put on, and their adjustable wrist strap ensures that they won’t slip off once tightened. Because of the lengthy, oversized gauntlets (sleeve), they will easily go over your child’s coat sleeves.

MimiTENS mittens also include an extending cuff that extends all the way up to your child’s elbows, which helps to keep them in place. A combination of water-resistant nylon and bamboo/cotton fleece on the inside for added warmth and comfort, MimiTENS are the cutest thing you’ll ever see!

Active families, on the other hand, need the appropriate winter clothing. SimpliKids Children’s Snow Sports Mittens keep hands warm and dry on chilly days on the slopes or on the toboggan runs. Wrist straps that are oversized and simple to tighten assist keep mittens in place, and they’re so affordable that you can let your baby choose from a variety of colors. A soft lining and lightweight insulation provide toasty warmth without being cumbersome, and the great quality ensures you’ll be able to use it for more than one season.

Bought these for my daughter and they are durable and warm.

When you put Gordini’s Easy-On Mitts for Children and Toddlers on, you can have your child ready to go outdoors in a flash due to the big, zippered opening. This is a good option for toddlers who like to toss snowballs and go tobogganing since it has a dry-max waterproof lining and an elasticized gauntlet. The mittens have a long cuff that runs halfway up the arm, so no snow can get in, and Velcro stops them from falling off. Older toddlers can put these on and take them off independently thanks to the lengthy zipper. 

LOVE THESE. My kids had such a hard time finding gloves that kept them warm in the snow. These have been great for hours of snow play, keeping hands dry and warm. Super
Easy to get on and off.

If you’re planning some serious snow day activities, the SnowStoppers Kids Waterproof Nylon Mitten is ideal. They feature a 100% nylon outer shell with Thinsulate insulation and a waterproof Drypel lining. The gloves stay put due to the expanded cuff, which keeps them in place throughout a range of winter sports. Available in eleven vibrant colors for children from one to twelve years old.

With four kids, I have gone through my fair share of mittens. Snow Stoppers are my favorite because they keep my children's hands nice and toasty and don't slip down while they're playing outside. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing mittens for their kids.

Unigear’s Kids Ski Mittens come in blue, black, and pink and include 150g of Thinsulate insulation for ultimate warmth even in the wettest conditions. Even after hours of building snow angels, long cuffs with elastic closures keep the snow out. With a robust nylon exterior fabric, a TPU coating, and moisture-wicking membrane inserts, these mittens provide triple waterproof protection. These mittens are simple to put on due to a sanity-saving, quick-access side zipper, and the Velcro clasp can be adjusted to keep them on until you take them off. A robust leather fabric that wraps the palms and fingers makes it easy for your child to hold that carrot for the snowman’s nose, and a hanging thread with clips guarantees you don’t lose them for at least one winter.

I didn’t realize when I bought these that they have a side zipper! This zipper makes it so much easier to put on little hands. Love these and would definitely recommend.

The KANCOOL Waterproof Baby & Toddler Mitten are a fun and useful addition to any snow day and are available in 13 vivid and engaging designs for children in sizes 6 months to 6T kids. To keep little fingers warm and dry, the gloves are made of waterproof acrylic fabric and entirely lined with a soft, toasty fleece. An elastic waist and velcro strap hold them securely on your child’s hands, and they connect together when not in use, so you’ll never be rushing for the second glove at the last minute.

I love the look, they are so cute and perfect for my daughter. I love that they didn’t cost an arm and a leg because kids lose everything

MCTi’s Kid Mittens come in black, pink, or grey and are lined with a lightweight, toasty Sherpa fleece inside. They have a waterproof nylon outer shell and a long cuff with a hanging string you can thread through your child’s coat sleeves to ensure they don’t get misplaced. These are ideal for constructing a snowman or sledding on the coldest days, thanks to reinforced, non-slip palm and finger grips. These mittens are sturdy enough for any outdoor activity, with a luminous tape trim that makes them noticeable on cloudy or snowy days. The mittens keep on firmly thanks to the elastic wrist and clip. 

You have to search for "rain mittens" to get actual waterproof mittens. All the "waterproof" mittens are more like good for some rain and snow (but not for playing in puddles or any intense water situation). For winter mittens, these things are superb.

Wrap-style mittens, like N’Ice Caps Kids Easy-Ons, with a fold-over flap, are our favorites: Undo it, and the mitten opens wide, allowing your toddler’s hand to slide in quietly (well, one can hope). To ensure a tight and secure fit, fasten the hook and loop clasp. These affordable toddler mittens come in a variety of colors and designs, making them ideal for your child’s first active winter outdoors. The mittens are waterproof and toasty, with a 2.5-inch knitted cuff you can tuck below your child’s jacket sleeve to keep snow out. They’re insulated with 3M Thinsulate and have a gripping palm.

Great gloves! Dry and warm! Easy to get in on and tighten!
