The case of the amazing vanishing gloves

Have you seen a matching scarf and gloves?
Missing since September.

So. I've come to the conclusion that - for children - hats, scarves and gloves sets are the worst winter investment ever!

This glove is thought to have survived a visit from the glove munchers

My son has an exceptional talent: at least once a week he manages to come home from school minus a glove or scarf. The hats are usually safe on his head; though he did exceed expectations this week by losing his jacket too

Name tags make no difference either. *The magical glove munching fairies at school actually seem quite partial to a tag or two. I think it's high time coat manufacturers cottoned on (geddit) to a niche in the market and built in, irremovable , hat, scarf and gloves sets!

The search continues for this fella's colorful
 companion 

But, for now I'm at my wits end. We're only a few months in to the school year and the little man has lost three gloves, two scarves and a hat. The magical glove munching fairies earned extra points by making one of his gloves disappear after just five minuets at the swing park last week. 

This hat hasn't seen its woolly companions
for over a month!

Inevitably, I've purchased another couple of hat, scarf and gloves sets, only for the school to inform me that two of our missing pieces have turned up in the lost property box! 

And this lot have given up hope that they'll  ever
be reunited with their matching partners. 

After reuniting a few of the little mans woollies, I'm one step ahead of the glove munchers, but for how long?
