Hooded towels

Does anyone know where you can get a hooded towel for a toddler? The infant ones are too small and I know they have ones that are made out of a full size towel only with an extra piece on it for the head. Thanks!

i bought one for a friend (who has a new 3 year old) from Target-yellow duck head for the hood. i have a green one from Babies are Us, though getting small for my almost 3 year old. Pottery Barn, multi striped, is my absolute favorite. still fits and will for some time.

I just saw some cute ones in the summer aisle at Target where the beach chairs and such are. We've bought them there before and my kids like them. You can also try Pottery Barn Kids. They can be personalized there but they cost more than the ones at Target.

Like Steph, we got a big Kitty Cat one at BJ's. My favorite is one I got as a gift that came from a boutique, but of course, I know it was expensive. It is so big I didn't use it until recently. LOVE IT.

Ikea has them too- they have snaps on the side so they can double as pool cover ups. Aidan loves his.

Love to you,
Deb

Love the ones from KOHL'S. My DD who is 6 was jealous of DS for having some so we bought her some. They are thick and absorbent. DS is now too big for the baby ones so we share the 2 we have.
