Treat with Kid Gloves

You say that you tried Etsy..but did you try http://www.etsy.com/alchemy/? You can post exactly what you're looking for, and what price you're willing to pay and Etsy members can submit bids to custom make them for you. Though I don't know if they will really be able to get anything to you in time.

That's helpful - wasn't sure if they had to be sterile cotton gloves for the burns to heal or if it was for protection from the sun and scrapes. I had an idea for her room - you could string up a clothesline with colourful clothespins, and hang the gloves along it. Then she can pick a pair in the morning to wear. Is she in school? Are you going to explain to the class or her classmates why she has to wear the gloves? If so, I had an idea that you could bring in a big pack of plain white cotton gloves with some fabric markers, and let the kids decorate a bunch of gloves for her. Maybe they could sign their names and draw her pictures, just like a cast. It might help destigmatize it and help them become part of the solution! If there are accessory sets that match the gloves, that might be fun to have sometimes. The superman gloves with a cape, a tiara with satin gloves, wings with pink gloves, fire hat with red gloves, cowboy hat with brown gloves... could make it part of the fun, depending on her interests.

I am thinking that over the next 3 years you are going to want all kinds of different gloves so that she can choose something according to her mood or her outfit for that day. Here are some more ideas: If you want something whimsical, you can buy or make http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&expIds=17259,24813,25855,26512&sugexp=ldymls&tok=RUECSf20Yr29fFZTZn2ozw&xhr=t&q=finger+puppet+gloves&cp=20&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=G1-VTI2POsP68Aa_7riNDA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=7&sqi=2&ved=0CFAQsAQwBg&biw=1152&bih=661. Various types of athletes wear gloves - hockey, fencing, motorcycle riders, etc. You can look at costume sites to buy/make bear claws, cat paws, other animals. Pirates wear gloves too, don't they? And princesses. http://www.gloveswears.com/ to get more ideas of different types of gloves; these are mostly for professions, but some might work for either playtime or just if they strike a fancy.

We ordered the parade gloves from Amazon and interestingly the order was fulfilled by Gloves Online. They just arrived and the last of her bandages are now finally off. She really likes them and has big plans for their ornamentation. $20 a dozen is very reasonable. Thank you, everyone.

I should also clarify that winter gloves are available almost everywhere in the season, we're trying to find alternatives for the rest of the year. Gloves online is very helpful. Those glow in the dark ones are neat. Wish they were in stock.

Eventually, she'll be able to go out with sunscreen, but gloves are preferred because sunscreen wears off and while it protects from the sun, it doesn't protect her hands from the cuts and scratches a little kid will get from exuberant play. Yes, this is the doctor's advice, and it applies to just to going out.

Tons of http://www.gloves-online.com/search.php?pg=1&scat=20,76,146&nobox=true. Did the doctors ask her to wear gloves for 3 years? Is is just in the sun or all the time?
