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.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Kind of misleading
Would Not RecommendThey should more clearly state in the description how this is for kids. I thought it was a lot bigger. I had this shipped so you can't tell online as well. They should just say for kids in the title.
Shovel handle is not strong
The handle of the shovel bent the first time my son used it. He was very upset!
It’s cute to see a toddler do yard work.
Would RecommendGets the son helping and having fun
Broke After One Use
Would Not RecommendThis is cheap and the blade is barely useable for light gardening let alone be used as a shovel. DO NOT GET THIS.
Not durable
Would Not RecommendIt bent right away. Soil has to be very soft for this shovel to work.
Absolute Garbage
Would Not RecommendWe bought a pair of these shovels to go play at the Diamond mine (a plowed field with diamonds "in it"). My 7 year old bent the first shovel in the first 5 minutes. He bent the second one right after that. Maybe it's fine if you're digging in pre-tilled potting soil, if you're actually going to DIG anything, don't buy this shovel. It's for show only.
Flimsy
