For Older Children: The Adult Animal Boots pick up right where the children's sizes finish, so the Adult pattern works well for older kids who have outgrown the children's range.  The largest size being an adult size 15. 

For Younger Children: During the testing process, we found sewing the baby sizes too fiddly to be enjoyable, hence the decision not to include them in the pattern.  The Animal Shoes pattern is an alternative for babies/smaller children.
