Ava has an aversion to hats and gloves and refuses to wear either, we've been out this morning and her hands were like blocks of ice, even in her snowsuit she takes the mitts straight off and her hood down, any suggestions?

Ellie is exactly the same. Although she wont wear a hat she will wear my scarf (wont wear her own) so I wrap her up in mine (oh says she looks like veruca salt)!!. Cant get her to wear gloves but for now I put a blanket on her when she is in the pushchair. I'll keep watching this in case anyone has any ideas.

Duck tape? superglue?

Seriously though I have no idea - I tend to just put lots of layers on mine and hope for the best, Thomas has only now at almost 3 started keeping hats on because I tell him he looks like a 'cool dude' and he thinks thats great

I have bought Hannah a few roll neck ribbed tops to go under jumpers etc which might help with the scarf issue but she will not keep a hat or gloves on at all.

we just keep going, you could get one of these http://www.hm.com/gb/product/91895?article=91895-A#article=91895-C

and hats that have straps underneath....elijah has been quite good, he won't wear gloves at aaaaallllll but if he is cold will keep a hat on and let me pull his sleeves down, maybe she is feeling really warm??? and what about earmuffs? AND are you wearing a hat too, cos she might be more tempted if she is. other than that she can be with elijah in the freezing cold hand club!

Izzy used to be the same, she'd pull hats and mitts off within minutes ... I just kept putting them back on, over and over and over...til she got bored of it..now she leaves them on!

I just used to take Libby out in the garden, if she took it off I'd tell her we would go inside, it didnt take long for her to leave them on. Now she wont go out without a hat or gloves on. xx

Thats what i did in summer with her sun hat Suse .. i said you can only stay outside if you keep it on ... and she soon learnt...now she asks for her sun hat!

alfie is quite good with hates but never keeps his gloves on. cos he cant pick things up and get a good grip of hisblue bear. i just try and tuck his hands under a blankets x

im just qute strict, as soon as they come off, i put them back on so now he doesnt even bother trying x

I think its an age thing A wouldnt wear hat or gloves when she was younger but now cant wait to put them on.

E wont have them on just now either but i bought hats with strings to foil her plans mwhahahah

Noah is good with hats sometimes he keeps his gloves on, but in the house is another story he loves to have no clothes lol
