We have been having trouble at preschool and at play dates with our gloves getting mixed up with others. We bought ours at Walmart. Well guess what? So did over half of the town. Do you know how many little boys have black knit gloves? Let me tell you that it is a lot.
I found a way to set ours apart from the other and add an extra function. I used some fabric puff paint and made designs on my sons gloves. You can even write their name, if you want. I just did simple squiggles and lines. He picked out the colors (but was disappointed that I didn’t have green).
It is so easy. Just lay the gloves flat, squeeze on the paint, and let dry. You’re done. I told you it was easy. Now you can easily spot your custom gloves in a pile of others.
Oh, and the extra function? The puff paint give them a no-slip quality. Now your child can grab things without slipping as easily. Those knit gloves are pretty slick. The no-slip worked so well on our socks, I was hoping the gloves would be the same. It was. Total success all the way around! Try it.
