Poggies for kids

I'm using an ebike to travel with 2 kids (3yo & 5yo - not at the same time) and looking for a solution to keep their hands warm through winter.

It's a front mounted Macride and they hold onto the main handlebar and I've put a second set of grips further in.

Does anyone know if there are poggies that would be small enough?

Or any other solutions? It would need to be easy to fit/remove. The problem with kids winter ski gloves is they are so thick they can't grip the bar properly.

Just an idea - What about cutting a hole in the side of some adult ski mitts (cheap Aldi jobs) sliding the grip in, then fixing with a cable tie. They should have enough room to grip the bar in there (look for xl ones?). You could even snip the thumbs off and see them up as you won’t need them.

Edit- sorry just saw the easy to remove bit. Maybe not?

We have a handle bar muff for a pushchair that just fits round, bit awkward with the stem. I am really waiting for the kids ride shotgun pogies which I believe should be released around Dec 1st

I have the same requirement for my daughter who I take to school on a mac ride.

I was planning to make a pair from an old softshell jacket by cutting the sleeves up and stitching some velcro on so they can easily be attached and removed. Haven't got round to it yet though... Will post pics when I do.

Would they work, or need cuts for the bars the go through?

Something like kayak pogies might work... would fit onto the bars over the inner/second set of grips using velcro.
These are not cheap but warm and wind proof and easy in/out with a wired entry

Or these that are cheaper from Lomo in Glasgow
