there are some you can tie... harder to remove then...

and there are such that are conected on the inside of the jacket... when you make them short enough there he can't remove tham befor removing the jacket and you making sure he can... or at least it's harder

A staple gun and the threat of eternal damnation should suffice

Fill each one with an entire tube of super glue just before you put them on. Then make sure he doesn't take them off for at least an hour. [8>{)

Haha, I can't even get them on him. I put one on and he takes it off and chucks it away. When I go to retrieve the glove, he turns and runs up the stairs.

It's worse than herding cats, or putting socks on an octopus.

They have gloves for the little ones which has a little snap on it which can be attached from the glove to the coat. Also, mittens are often easier to put on a toddler than gloves, it may also be more comfortable, too. In the winter time, if my kids didn't want to wear gloves or mittens, I put a heavy part of socks over their hands to keep them warm. The more you fuss about it, the more resistant your child may become. Eventually, your child's hands would hurt from the bitter cold, and most likely, he will learn that keeping his hands warm demand that he wear something over them. Kids are not stupid. He will learn.

Your concern is adorable, but based in myth & legend. Use the yarn through the sleeves so they don't LOSE them, and then take a breather.

Washing your toddler's hands will help prevent colds and the like. Actual temoerature has nothing to do with catching a cold.

They sell lace up gloves for that purpose, I don't know where to get them though. One could surely find them on the web.
