My daughter is really big/tall for her age. She's only 4 but going into a size 6. She loves her hooded towels but they have gotten way too short for her. She's asking me to buy her some bigger hooded towels. I don't know where on earth to find any. We have ones that are made for toddlers as opposed to babies and that's what she is using. Anyone have a favorite hooded towel for their little ones that run on the longer/bigger side and can you share where you found it?
Thanks!
If you can sew a single seam you can make them like crazy.

I have a friend who makes them for all her baby showers with a matching washcloth and towel. There are all kinds of instructions on the web and Utube. You can make it any size.
Check etsy.
What about a cute hooded robe?
My girls were given Pottery Barn Kids hooded towels when they turned two. We've used them for every single bath and shower and they've held up amazingly well. Super absorbent, cute animal heads on the hoods, and just amazing quality.
Pottery Barn makes toddler size (which are still big enough for my six year olds) as well as ones for bigger kids that are REALLY big. I highly recommend them…
I just saw one in Kohls yesterday! My mom got it for my son for Christmas. (Also a very tall 4 year old.) We found it in the linens section with all the towels and bedding.
Target has hooded towels In the bath section I bought a couple for my daughter 4.5 but is 4G in 45 lbs at last check up and they still fit her fine they come to about her knees they are about 15 each though
When my kids were younger... I got them hooded towels from Etsy.

I just did a search and found some I liked.
That was years ago.
My kids are now 7 and 11, and it is still well used. Because, the towel used to make it was not "toddler" sized, but adult sized in a high quality thick terry towel fabric. And it has lasted and lasted and still looks good as new.
So that is my suggestion.
Go look on Etsy and do a search.
I really recommend it, since that is where I found my kids' hooded towels and it was such good quality and totally is still well used and per its size.
My kids love their towels. It is not "baby" looking and great and has grown with them.
My best one was made by my mom. It was extra big. It is super easy to make if you have any sewing skills at all, or can enlist someone to do it for you.
My daughters are 6 and 5 and they havea great selection of long big hooded towels at Kohls. That is where I get my daighters hooded towels at and they LOVE them.
When my kids were that age, I had some made. They used a regular size bath towel for the main part and a matching hand towel for the hood.
I see Etsy has a lot of hooded towel sellers, even in adult sizes. I also found this tutorial in case you want to make your own:

I saw some at Target for bigger kids. Things like animals, but I also think there were character ones as well.
We got a couple at Kohl's, they didn't have a whole lot to choose from but they were big enough to last through multiple growth spurts!
I got some at Kohl's. My son is six (wearing size 6) and he still uses them. They're definitely starting to get a little shorter, but they still work.
Another thought is to make them. I don't sew, but my mom does and she made two hooded towels for my son. Just buy a regular towel in whatever size you want and then take a second towel to create a hood, then attach it to the first. For someone who can sew, and who has a machine that can handle the thicker fabric, it's pretty easy.
I saw some larger hooded towels in an Avon brochure recently. I think I have seen some at Target, as well.
I just bought a hooded robe for my 15 yo at sears. Not sure if they have them for kids though.
Maybe it's time to go to a "grownup" robe?
IKEA sells kid-sized hooded towels. My DD has a rabbit one that is more of a poncho.
You can also look in the kid section of the bath department of Target.
How about the towel wraps for hair ya Bed Bath And Beyond. My daughter and I love those.
We have a soft plush robe we wear when hie is in the wrap.
I know... Long shot from hooded towel but our towels work well!!
Did you already check Land's End and LL Bean? They usually have a good assortment of kid sized things. Although, you might have better luck searching during beach season, instead of when the have their winter stuff out.
