Why Garden Tools for Kids Matter
Gardening with children offers far more than just outdoor fun, it helps them develop fine motor control, responsibility, coordination and an early connection to nature. Children’s garden tools let kids help around the yard or garden where shorter tools fit better and encourage genuine participation.
Studies show that when children are involved in gardening they gain observational, scientific and emotional skills: they learn vocabulary, how things grow, cause/effect, and develop a sense of stewardship.
