What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this shovel for its lightweight design and perfect sizing for young children ages 3-10, noting it encourages outdoor participation and learning. However, many report significant durability concerns, with the shovel bending or breaking during light digging, even in soft soil. While some find it adequate for raised-bed gardening or sand play, most reviewers emphasize it functions only for very gentle use. Overall, customers view it as suitable for toddlers in controlled settings but warn against expecting real digging capability.

Don’t waste your money.
Would Not RecommendShovel head bent on first use. Bought 2 of these for kids (ages 6 & 7) to use in the garden and within 5 minutes both were damaged. Soil was soft.

Great starter shovel for kids
Would RecommendThis shovel was just the right height for a five year old. It doesn't hold much soil, which helps them to be able to lidt a shovelful of soil. Great introduction shovel for kids who want to help meaningfully with yard work.
No Frills, Suitable for Children Only
Would RecommendThis isn't the shovel you are going to use to dig out that stump...its the shovel your kids can use to dig in their sand box. As long as you are going into it knowing that, you should be pretty pleased. I am a little disappointed that the handle doesn't have a grip on it, would make it much more functional in my opinion. Otherwise, getting a small shovel for extremely light duty work or child's play.
Kid approved
Would RecommendPretty good quality for a little kid shovel. My son loves that this is a “real” shovel and not a bright colored little kid type shovel. He feels like he’s working as hard as the adults with real equipment. It does a great job for little adult projects as well.
For small jobs
Would RecommendGreat product for the money. A small shovel for little jobs.

Great kids tool
Would RecommendPerfect kids tool. This tool is light enough for a kid to play with yet sturdy enough to stand up to the way a kid uses the tool. It has a loop at the end of you wanted to hang it on a hook.
Great kids shovel..
Would RecommendI was excited to use this and was very disappointed when it arrived… it’s a child’s size shovel… to actually garden and dig holes with this shovel it does nothing. For kids to help out and play with this is perfect! It’s is sturdy for kids to play with and it’s a big step up from plastic shovels. But as an adult don’t plan to use this to dig anything.
Grandma’s Helpers
Would RecommendThis shovel is perfect for my visiting grandchildren who want to help in the garden. It is easy for them to handle because it is lightweight and sized for them. It is well made: steel shaft, head attached with a screw, and handle which allows it to be hanged for storage. The shovel is perfect for my grandchildren but I also use it in my raised beds.
