| definition: |
Mittens are something you can wear on your hands to keep them warm. They are often made of wool or some other warm material. Mittens are like gloves, but mittens don't separate your fingers. Your fingers are all together in one part of a mitten, and only your thumb is in a separate part.
I like how warm mittens are, but it's hard to hold things while wearing them.

Mitten is from a Latin word that means "the middle," "center," or "a half." A mitten is halved between the fingers and thumb.
