After lots of searching, trial, and error, these are some of the top winter outdoor gear items that have been of the most use in our family!
100% wool layers are the best for keeping kids warm under snow gear. While a bit on the pricey side, these layers are worth the investment!

I invested in these snow suits for both my toddlers this year and they were WORTH IT! The sizing is great because they have room to grow and I know these will last us more than one season.
Children's Snowsuits for Warm & Cozy Outdoor Fun - Reima US
Elbow mittens work best for my little ones because when we put them on under their coat or snow suit, they can't easily pull them off! These are also super warm and comfy.
Toddler Elbow Gloves
I have multiple of these beanies for each of my kids (because they're always getting lost…toddlers). They're the most comfortable style and fit we've found!
Kids Hats & Accessories - Carhartt
A comfy neck gator makes a huge difference in how long my kids are able to tolerate the cold on their face and cheeks especially!
Kids Tube Neck Gaiters - Turtle Fur
We like these durable snow boots - long lasting and I've been able to pass them down to the next kiddo after they're outgrown!
Toddler Snow Boots - Target
Keep their toes so warm it's worth it, but I did have to size up on boots to get them to fit over these socks!

Even if you manage to get all the gear on to go outside, it can be really hard to entertain small kiddos when they are just puff balls in all their clothes! These are some of the ideas and activities we've tested out this winter.
Super sturdy - this sled is great for my 1 year old. Easy to pull around the yard and it's so steady he can even go down a small hill by himself!
Baby Sled
This size of sled has been perfect for pulling multiple kids around the yard or down the hill together.
Plastic - Sled - The Home Depot
My 2 year old is super excited about hockey so has been trying out skates this year! Definitely pair with the pusher when they're first getting started!
Toddler Hockey Skates
This is the best tool for learning to skate - helps my toddler balance while still “doing it by himself” :)
Skate Trainer
Our jogging stroller with durable wheels has been the most useful method of transport for going on neighborhood or trail walks in winter!
Double Bob Stroller
I have training skis with no real bindings like these for my 2 year old - their boot just slids into the straps. He loves traipsing around the yard and they are a great first introduction to cross country skiing!
