What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this shovel as lightweight and perfectly sized for children to participate in gardening and yard tasks independently. Many appreciate its affordability and simple design. However, a substantial portion report the shovel bends or breaks easily under moderate pressure, with the metal head and shaft described as flimsy and unsuitable for actual digging in hard soil. Some note it works only for soft soil or pretend play. A few mention it feels smaller than expected or lacks a non-slip handle. Overall, reviewers recommend it primarily as a child's toy tool rather than a functional digging implement.

Would Not Recommendonline it states that it's a steel handle shovel, but when I get to the store it's a steel handle kids shovel
May be good for a sandbox, but not much else
Would Not RecommendBent to an unusable angle the first time I used it. I wouldn't waste my money.
Perfect size little shovel for My little Nephew to help with this spring and summer gardening plans
Small product
Would RecommendSmall but helpful for gardening. Happy with the quality
Good product
it is a good product, not that strong but good for easy tasks
Garbage
Would Not RecommendSpend the extra $ and get a decent shovel. Not durable for anything, even if a child is using it. Sadly already in the trash.
It's lightweight but an actual shovel
Would RecommendWorks as an actual shovel, but only for super-lightweight tasks. I'm using it as a "stirrer" for a balcony compost box, but it's really made for kids. Don't try to use it to dig out anything that isn't lightweight (i.e. dry sand or loose/dry soil: ok, wet sand or packed/wet soil: not ok).
Not very sturdy
Would Not RecommendThe metal is not very sturdy so when I dig into the ground it wobbles instead of going straight into the dirt.
Good Supervised Kids Tool
Would RecommendPerfect size for a toddler. It seems to be good enough quality to last for some time. Time will tell if it can handle a toddler banging it around.
great product
Would Recommendgreat shovel for this price
Deff worth it
Would RecommendSturdy. my 6 year old boy loves this shovel. perfect size
Shovel
Would Not RecommendBroke too easy
Don't expect much
Would RecommendIt's a $5 shovel. Don't expect it to hold up to any abuse. I bought it to use as a prop in my Halloween cemetery, but I imagine my 5 year old will end up using it to "help" me with yardwork.
This one is for very loose dirt. It will bend.
Would Not RecommendIts not y'all fault. I ordered the wrong size. And it keeps bending.
