Birthday present for 2 year old. Is it suitable and safe? Opinions wanted.

[MamaBlue4]

DD is 2 on 8th April.

And I think I've decided on a birthday gift for her. DH loves the idea but I'm wondering if it's "too old" for her to use/learn.

She loves flowers and frilly things but doesn't like dolls or anything like that. In our garden we have loads of space and I was think about fencing a little section off, with a little picket white fence and putting like a sign on it that saying "X's garden" and letting her have our own garden to plant things in - obviously, I'll supervise and help her. Was going to get her some toddler tools and teach her how to plant and dig etc.

But my only thing I can fault about it, is her age and I'd like some opinions on whether if you think it's a wonderful idea or if you think she's too young to be playing around plants and tools (I'll not leave her alone or anything, always will be supervised) DH thinks it'll be fine but I'd other opinions before I start.

And if you think she's too young, have you any present ideas that include plants/flowers?

Thanks, in advance! x

Hope she enjoys it! I had a corner of the garden when I was little and loved it - but nothing ever grew in it, I dug holes and made muddy puddles and mud pies and basically just got very muddy!

i think its a great present , like you say at 2 yrs old you will be with her at all times , so cannot be harmed in any way .

Happy birthday to my beautiful baby girl! :)

Party was a success and she loved her garden present and surprise present from Grandpa (Dora The Explorer quad ride on) - she's still outside playing on it, and since it was her birthday we're letting her go to bed when ds1 does at half 7

olivo She did, thank you :)
