Vegetable Garden for Kids

Children love dirt, planting seeds, watching them sprout and eventually eating the vegetables they have grown! Allowing kids to be part of harvesting a vegetable garden not only helps them develop an understanding of nature and the great outdoors but is a very fun activity for them to do. It also gives us, as adults, the opportunity to spend time with our children and watch them take great pride in what they have developed. 

It is important to appeal to the child’s senses by using plants that are colourful, smell nice, can be touched and even eaten. That's why vegetables are an excellent choice for young children! Also, vegetables germinate quickly and can be eaten once they are harvested, which allows them to see the process from start to finish. It teaches them to have a bit of patience and gives them a sense of accomplishment when they get to enjoy what they have worked hard to achieve. To allow your kids to benefit from planting their own vegetable garden, it should be planned well. And having the right tools to begin the process is a great start. 

At Tinney’s Toys we have a full range of Garden Toys for budding young gardeners: everything from wheelbarrows, lawnmowers, strimmers, hedge cutters and more. Supporting and encouraging the younger generation over their childhood is very important to us, so providing toys that will spark those creative little minds into imaginative and resourceful play can be important steppingstones in life. That’s why we have put together a list of some of our favourite Garden Toys to help your kids get started with their vegetable garden. 

Klein Bosch Gardening Bag set with tools: This Gardening Bag includes a spade, rake, garden shears, and watering can along with a plant plot and seeds to grow some flowers. However, with the spade, rake and watering can, children can easily plant their own plants or vegetables and take care of many at once. You might also want to add the Dino Kids Wheelbarrow: This wheelbarrow is both lightweight and extremely durable. The hopper is made of sturdy plastic and is waterproof. The frame is made of high quality powder coated metal tubes. The wheelbarrow is suitable for children from 3 years old and the miniature version of a large wheelbarrow can help your kids in gardening. Other gardening tools to take a look at include the Klein Bosch Gardening Gloves, Klein Bosch Greenery Rake, and Klein Bosch Spade.
