Rubber gloves for 6 yo for hand-felting?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
We are going to do a LOT of hand-felted balls for a Christmas project. After doing just a few, my hands are a mess. So, I plan to get some rubber gloves. My small-for-her-age 6 yo dd is going to be doing this project with me and I am at a loss as to where to find rubber gloves that will come anywhere close to fitting her. Any ideas? I have read that textured gloves will work best but at this point, we will take anything I can find.

I've never seen children's size rubber gloves but what might work are the garden gloves they make now that are regular knit gloves that are then partially dipped in rubber. Her hands would get wet and pruney in them, but they wouldn't get so roughed up I don't think. The garden stores around here sell them in kid's sizes although you may have to ask for them as they are off season now (at least they are here).

That is a good idea. I can probably find some online.
