Clothing Size for Kids

My church has "Christmas Angels" where you buy giftst for children and families that need help. The ones i was given was for clothes for a

2-4 year old girl
and a
6-8 year old girl

Does anyone have any suggestions in terms of sizing???? Should i buy for the median age (3 and 5)??? What sizes should i look for in the store? Do the sizes run big?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Can you tell i don't have kids yet?

Re: Clothing Size for Kids

2-4 and 6-8 are REALLY big ranges. I would think if that is the information they're giving you, they want toys more than clothes. It is really hard to guess a clothing size even if you know the exact age of the child, let alone a 2 year range. For the most part, if the child is kind of "average sized" they will usually wear the same size as their age. So, the 2 year old will usually wear a 2T, the 4 year old usually wears a 4, etc. But this is a big generalization. If you really want to get clothes, you really need to get more information about the children.

unfortunately, these are generic gifts... i am assuming the church just gives general age ranges so that they have a variety of items available to give to families that come to them for help. so unfortunately, i have no way of getting specifics on the child.

I would get some size 2T-4T and size 4-6, and 7-8 depending on how many you need.
