Gardening tools for toddler

[GemmeFatale]

My toddler has decided he loves ‘helping’ in the garden. Can anyone recommend a small set of gardening tools for him? I want something sturdy he can actually dig/garden with - most seem flimsy and more for pretending to garden.

My 2.5 year old 'helper' was given a lovely hand trowel and fork from Burgon & Ball for Christmas by his grandparents:

Prior to this he was using a rounded adult size garden trowel (a little heavy) or plastic children's beach spades (plastic certainly not as effective)!

I suspect he'll want to move onto other tools this summer judging by the frequency he tried to 'borrow' my garden rake, fork, spade etc. last year... he's a budding little gardener (pardon the mostly unintended pun).

We’ve got the spear and Jackson tiny traditions fork and trowel which are good and mini versions of the adult tools. The only problem is that my ‘helper’ wants to use my tools rather than his so I end up having to use his!

Last year B&M had a lovely range of little tools and gloves in different themes. My research over the last few years on parenthood is that you need metal and wood. (Same for the beach, the sturdier the better)
I've also had Lidl stuff that's been quite good, but more for children than toddlers.

Thanks all. A good selection to look at here

100% agree re the beach! When I was a child my father used to pack garden spades, shovels and full size buckets... the forts, mounds and sandcastles built were excellent!
