“This shovel is a great step up from the age 3-5 garden tools that we had previously. The quality is great, as it is made of wood and metal. It is taller and just the right height for my 6 year old, and I am sure he will be able to use it comfortably for a few more years. We also use it at the beach!”

“I ordered this as part of the garden tools set for my grandson who was out shoveling compost and planting potatoes with us this weekend! He always wants to help and having his own real tool was fun and was a way for us to respect his efforts and let him really contribute to the project!”

“I bought two of these real shovels for my three kids, aged 4, 7, and 10. I like the steel head and sturdy wooden handle of appropriate length. The bummer was that during the first day of use my ten-year old bent the steel shovel part back slightly, just down from where it connects to handle. I straightened it out, but was disappointed the steel wasn't stronger.”

“My Grandkids loved the shovels. They were very sturdy and strong. They used them to dig in the yard of their new home to plant bulbs and dig up old shrubs. The items held up great.”
