Toddler Mittens and Gloves? What are those?

At 1 1/2, my son loves to explore and has a lot of energy. And he gets sick of playing with the same old toys. So when it's not extremely cold, we take him outside as much as possible! Lately, it has been snowing on a regular basis. We tried sledding on the slight slope in our backyard. Turns out, a slight slope is perfect for a toddler! And he loves playing in the snow! What a great way to get him outdoors and burn off some energy. However, it seems we always return to the indoors because his hands are too cold.
Dealing with cold baby hands has been a problem for over a year now. (See a previous blog on the subject of buying mittens for infants)
We now have:
1. infant mittens that are insulated but too small and don't stay on
2. columbia mittens that are a little bigger but not well insulated
3. gloves for older kids that are way too big and also not insulated
4. socks, which stay on great but still get the hands wet
The current solution, if we want to stay outside longer than 15 minutes, is to take several pairs of socks, and maybe some mittens too, and every time they fall off or get wet, swap them out for a new pair. This means more laundry, because now you're out of socks for the poor kid.
So, here's a million dollar idea: INVENT GLOVES FOR TODDLERS THAT STAY ON AND DON'T GET WET. It really can't be that hard. I'd do it myself, but I'm busy working, being a mom and blogging.
On a side note, my 1 1/2 year old is big for his age. In addition to that, his hands are enormous for his age. So a pair of gloves that fit a 3 year old would probably fit him. Which means these gloves don't exist for 3 year olds either. And 3 year old should definately be out playing in the snow!
