When small ones want to help out in the garden or the yard, there are so many options for your little gardeners. Their smaller hands need tools that fit and are the correct height. They also need protection from the elements, and products that turn a chore into fun. Gather in Bloom loves the products below:
Best Tools for Little Gardeners:

- A watering can and gloves for small hands are essential tools for the little gardener. The can will not be too heavy to carry around, and the gloves will protect from blisters (or if one does not like the feeling of dirt, he or she can still play in dirt without getting it under fingernails).
2. A size-appropriate rake, shovel, and hoe are tools for the little gardener to actually get something accomplished. The tools still need to be metal. These from Little Tikes are cute and sturdy enough to rake some leaves.
3. Hand-held tools for the little gardeners give the little ones the freedom to clean and prepare a smaller area for planting. These also need to be metal, or they will just bend and cause frustration. Again, this Growing Garden line is precious.
4. A wheelbarrow that is sturdy, but just a bit smaller and lighter for the little gardener is also an easy way to carry around supplies. Radio Flyer has been around for decades for a reason.
Best Complete Kit
5. If your little gardener needs a complete ensemble (like ours), this is the kit for them. The apron and hat are adjustable and can grow with your child. The tools are stainless and sturdy. We have had many hours of fun with the spray bottle.
I hope you find the best tools for little gardeners to be helpful. The blooms are part of the gathering, so we need to take care of them!
