Kid mittens that war with each other instead of you
I sometimes feel like my son's mittens are at war with me. I'm either always searching for one or trying to battle against my son's hands to put them on. Finally, an adorable pair of mittens that appreciate the hand to hand combat we moms have to face every winter.
The new handmade Vs Mittens Juniors are a genius way to get your kid to actually look forward to wearing mittens. Each pair comes with one animal predator...and one prey. You can choose from dog vs cat, frog vs fly or bird vs bee.

My personal fave is the frog vs fly--there's something kind of spooky-cool about the fly's pink eyes.

Each pair of rivals is handmade with a comfy wool/acrylic blend. I love the idea of my three-year-old son entertaining himself with a game of war between his two hands--especially while on line at the grocery store or in the car. But so far, he'd much rather take them off when I'm not looking. Maybe if I bought a pair of the adult mittens for myself, he'd be more willing to keep his on. And then we could have some serious predator vs. prey fun.

Vs Mittens Juniors are $24.99 on vsmittens.com. One size fits most, ages 4-7.
