BearHands infant/toddler mittens are made of a thick dual-layer fleece with a thin soft layer of Thinsulate sandwiched inside to keep your toddler’s hands a toasty warm. There are no-slip PVC grips on the palm and each of the fingers that form a cutesy bear paw design. The tag attached whimsically reads “Wear these paws, they’re beary warm and nice. They’ll keep you toasty in the snow and ice. Your kids will love how their fingers feel and look, Like a character out of a modern jungle book!” A sentiment that I definitely echo. These mittens are the epitome of cute.

One of the obsessions of parents living in cold or even chilly climates is “How to keep our child warm?” The ultimate answer to this question is 7AM Enfant’s “Blanket 212 Evolution” or b212e for short. This machine washable bunting features warm thermal down-like filling, a waterproof shell, a cozy fleece lining, and a zip-up hood. And… The best feature of all? It grows with your child from infant to preschool.
