Gardening gloves for 2 yr old?

Not worried about getting dirt on her hands, but I will be hopefully pruning roses and in case she picks up a piece...
Any recommendations for brands?

The hardware stores usually have their brand name kids' work gloves. Try Target too, usually fun gardening stuff for them. Many smalls are really small and may work.

My kids always loved theirs. You should have no problems finding some. Lowe's carries them, I know. I hope she has fun with them!

My two year old loves her gloves, but I have never found any that are small enough to really fit her. Even if they fit, I doubt she would keep them on her hands for longer than about two minutes. The good news is that she learned very quickly that it's no fun to pick up thorny rose branches.

I do insist that she wear jeans and sturdy shoes when I prune roses because she walks right through the piles of prunings. I clean up very carefully too because she runs around the garden barefoot all summer long.
