My boys are too old for the plastic handle stuff. They like to dig in the wet sand and build sand castle and moats, just to wash the tide wash their work away. I'm looking for some unique and relatively inexpensive options to basic garden tools. The tools need to be light and easy for a 6-year old to handle.

wooden spoons
frisbees plastic cups different sizes cookie cutters to make designs.. legos are lots of fun.. just don't bring the good legos.. (they make some seriously interesting castles built with sand and legos.. ) straws to make posts bring a plastic container.. buttons cut a milk gallon bottle in half.. it helps bring the sand faster.. and the cap lets out for pouring..
omg..when i go to the beach sometimes i have pirate treasure hunts with mine.. i make a map and hide stuff(maybe the tools) and have them find it.. mine wore a lampshade on her head.. geez i miss those days.

www.danthegardener.co.uk Dan The Gardener says there is no better way to introduce your children or grandchildren to the pleasures of gardening ...

this is the only thing I've found so far...

Trying to find something just a little bit bigger though...but staying with the same idea (leaf rake, garden rake, hoe, and shovel - you get the picture - and nothing "cheap" plastic)

My mom got him a kid-sized wheelbarrow and I was trying to find gardening tools that are his size since he likes to help out so much. Oh, he's 5 years old I believe...so want something that he's not going to outgrow in a year...

Any ideas where I can find something??

I just saw a cute set at the Lowes that are real tools for kids, like a starter set that they can really use.

Price: $12.99 $6.28

These sturdy hand tools in a gift box for easy display
6 sets per display
These tools measure up to 8-1/2-Inch long

Does anyone know where I can find garden accessories for kids? I'm looking for a planter, watering can, and maybe a shovel in a disney princess theme. I live in the Toronto area, so I can't order online from the USA.

You might have to collect these items. Shop around your local stores, I have seen childerens' garden tools before that are "pink". At any rate, I have the piece that might make your collection complete. See the link

thats a great song for the kids.

supersoak dat gardening tool

All of the "hoes" he supersoaks always defend him with the money quote. Dont you hoes understand that money aint everything. After your dead and gone the money dont mean sh*t if you didnt touch some one or teach someone something. What is he teaching kids by the music he makes??? Most likely to be stupid, crude, superficial, and run by money........whats the sense in that?
