Did you all enjoy the article I posted last week about gardening as a family? I know from the comments that some of you really understand the benefits of gardening with your children. I know my son loves gardening wth us. He wants to be really hands on, but sometimes I run out of ideas for how he can "help." With the help of Little Tikes and Imperial Toys, I now have quite a few ways to keep him occupied and excited about gardening.
Imperial Toys has just come out this Spring with new gardening toys from Little Tikes that I just know you will love too!
The Garden Grow Watering Can is my favorite! In fact, I can't decide who likes it more - me or my son. It has sturdy grip handles, a large water spout opening, and turn nozzle which changes the water control to multi-stream, shower, or single stream. My son is always begging me to use it to water the peas or the basil. (I guess those are his favorite plants) And I love it to water plants in the house.
We are also enjoying the Garden Tool Set which features a toddler sized shovel and rake each with easy grip handles. The Garden Hand Tool Set features a safe and durable miniature shovel and sifter with easy grip handles for kids to really dig in and appreciate the goodness of the earth from a young age. My son used to beg me to use our grown-up versions of these tools, but I always hesitated because they are so sharp and he can't maneuver them very well anyways. Now he is in heaven, because these are just the perfect size for his little hands.
Here, you can see him digging in my basil that we keep indoors. Now, if I could only get him to keep the dirt in the pot. :-)
I love how durable these toys are. I also love that through them, my son is learning how to grow healthy food! The whole Spring line of garden toys from Little Tikes are available at Toys “R” Us stores nationwide. They are so affordable at right around $5.00, you just have to make your child's day by getting them the whole set!
