When the temperatures start rising in spring, both the kids and the grown-ups are drawn out into the fresh air! Children can finally let off steam and enjoy the nice weather. For parents, the start of the warmer seasons means something else: getting out into their gardens and lawns at home and pulling weeds, planting flowers, mowing the grass, and much more. And the kids are always happy to be there as well to help bring the garden into top condition. The right gardening tools for children can help them with that! Offer your customers the best products and comprehensive advice when it comes to gardening tools for kids. When the children want to really get their hands dirty helping out in the garden, this basic equipment cannot be missing from the garden shed: The Garden Trolley (11663) really brings out the aspiring gardener in them! Equipped with a spade, a rake, a plastic flowerpot and small gardening aids such as a hand shovel and a hand rake, young gardeners aged 3 years and up have everything they need right at hand! The stable trolley made of beech wood and metal can be easily pushed and pulled around thanks to the indestructible wheels, and it offers plenty of space for both large and small gardening tools. The open floor of the trolley makes cleaning it easy, and the rubber-finished metal feet provide a secure standing position! For an extra bit of safety, the advanced design of the storage area allows the larger gardening tools to be positioned so that they point away from children's heads and faces. It's an absolute must-have for your role-playing and outdoors assortment that you won't find a second time on the market. Benefits of the Garden Trolley at a glance: Customers who are looking for something different can choose the Wheelbarrow with Gardening Tools (11627) which is equipped with gardening gloves, a spade, and rakes. These gardening tools are made of robust wood and metal, and the gardening gloves are made of 100% cotton. The high-quality wheelbarrow impresses customers with a comparatively large trough volume of approx. 10 litres, a long-losting tyre made of solid rubber, and wooden grips. With this wheelbarrow set, children can really help their parents in the garden and the yard while taking on their first gardening tasks independently. Benefits of the Wheelbarrow Set from small foot at a glance: Regardless of whether it's the Trolley or the Wheelbarrow - both sets of gardening tools give children the opportunity to take part in the gardening, be a part of it, and discover the world around them. By assuming age-appropriate duties in the garden, children's sense of curiosity and hunger for action will be satisfied while they learn that their work will be rewarded, like when they're able to harvest the very turnips they planted themselves! These experiences of success strengthen their sense of self-worth and show them that they're capable of achieving a lot. The Garden Trolley Set (11663) and the Wheelbarrow with Gardening Tools (11627) will help them along the way. But which equipment is sensible and necessary for children to be able to help out with the gardening? While younger children should let their parents help them with watering the plants, older children aged 3 years and up are able to start doing their first tasks in the garden. To that end, it's a good idea to equip them with gardening tools and introduce them to the use of rakes, shovels, and similar tools step by step. For example, a child's-size rake can be used to rake together leaves or mowed grass, while a bigger rake and a spade can be used to prepare a flowerbed. Equipped with a shovel and a wheelbarrow, they can move sand, dirt, and gravel from point A to point B. And this is important too: planters in which their first seeds can be planted. It's important that the gardening tools are made of a sturdy material so that children can truly use them correctly - otherwise their motivation to do the gardening will fade quickly. Good to know!Light Bulb Even more arguments for convincing your customers in the sales talk: Children can be challenged ideally when gardening. On one hand, it allows them to train their motor skills and get some exercise, and on the other hand, gardening requires the use of all senses. They listen to the rustling of the leaves on the trees, they smell new flower buds and freshly cut grass, they look to see if all of the red flowers have the exact same colour, and they pick up and touch everything that they find and don't yet recognise. The more a sense is stimulated, the more positive the effect on the child's development is. This is how they'll experience nature right before their very eyes and learn to perceive their surrounding environment better and more intensely. Children who play outside therefore have a huge world to discover that they can explore and research. Why do leaves turn brown and fall down in autumn? Why are rainworms important to the flowerbed? And which role does the weather play for different plants? Little by little, the young gardeners will learn the relationships in nature and gain knowledge. Together with their parents, they can identify types of plants, observe animals, and learn about their functions for the ecosystem. Water the plants, pull the weeds, gather the fruit, pick the berries - there's always something to do the whole year through in the garden. When children start helping out with it early on, they learn that plants must be cared for so that they are healthy, grow, and thrive. They also learn where fruit and vegetables in the supermarket come from, and that it takes work and time to plant and grow food. Benefits for your customers at a glance:
  • Gardening tools are perfectly suited for children aged 3 years and up
  • Working in nature allows the young ones to learn the important relationships therein, such as the fact that we need bees so that plants can carry petals and fruit
  • Children who spend time in nature understand as they get older that mankind is dependent on the environment and its integrity - they recognise that nature is worth protecting
  • The gardening tools are also suitable for kindergartens, many of which are now offering flowerbeds and garden areas
  • When working in the garden, kids learn to assume responsibility and to process their failures, such as when a flower wilts
  • Using gardening tools promotes the development of motor skills and makes kids exercise out in the fresh air
