[quote=Anonymous]We have one pair of waterproof mittens (same ones from Amazon linked upthread) that we only use for playing in the snow (we live in DC where we don't get much snow, so these usually only get used a few times a year when we visit family in snowier climates). Since these never go to school and we use them for a specific activity, we never lose them. If we did, we'd just order a replacement. They live with the snow pants and snow boots which also only get used occasionally.

Then we have a bunch of mittens from a brand I think called Icecaps? Also on Amazon. I think we got a pack of 3-4 pairs two years ago and they are still going strong. We will lose a pair but then it will turn up (often comes home during bin clean out school or we find a pair in the pockets of a coat that hasn't been worn in a while). In any case, when we lose a pair I just grab another from the closet. They are inexpensive and we've had them for a while so I don't stress about it. I like that they are fleece lined so they really seem to keep hands warm.

Also, I've found that if I make sure my kids have coats with zippered pockets, I can teach them to put their mittens in their pockets and zip them closed when they get to school, and it really improves the retention rate on the mittens. My 5 yr old finally mastered this skill this year, and every morning I unzip her pockets to see if her mittens came home and there they are. It's really nice not to have to go hunting in a backpack.
