Any advice to keep a toddlers hands warm while winter camping? Her body was absolutely fine but she kept sticking her hands out, tried putting her gloves on but she kept pulling them off, even tried putting my ski socks on they went with the gloves. My next option is an old and very heavy sheepskin jacket. I'm thinking of cutting it up to make a very warm blanket for the baby pram and using the sleeves for the toddlers hands, don't want to cut it up if it's going to end up the same way of the gloves/socks.

And yeh before you start I've already heard it all about my socks on her hands poor wee thing - They were Clean!!!!

Sounds like a job for the good old gaffer tape, glove/sock wont come off then! Comes in many fashionable colours these days as well.

Thanks NickH I've thought about tape for teens many times mainly around the mouth area, I'll keep it in mind for the toddler, not sure she'd be too impressed

Mittens or gloves on elastic worn under clothes or PJs worked for me when my boys were little!

Get a coat with too long sleeves, if the wrist is covered the hand stays warmer.. Or get a 'teddy' hot water bottle she can hold?

How big is she? You can get babygros with fold over hands, Matalan and Next do them.

Although, if it's not bothering her, it's not likely to be doing her any harm.

What age is it ok to use the tape over the mouth idea?

thanks, she's 2 1/2 and pulling her gloves off. She doesn't seem bothered in fact if anything we only upset her by tucking her hands in

her dad hated being restricted in shawls, jackets, scarves we just thought it was his asthma but she's inherited it without the asthma

I second the top a couple of sizes too large. I did that with trousers when DD was crawling. (We have concrete flooring and central heating is unheard of here). That being said, if you have a bit of heat on the go, I wouldn't worry about it. Here in WA, we never camp with the heater on and we don't have sealable tents - it's all SIG, mesh and then a light fly over and we camp where it can get very frosty. DD always toured her bed overnight. As long as her core is warm enough, she'll be right.
