FAQs

What age is this set suitable for?

The Kent & Stowe Kids Spade & Fork Set is suitable for children aged 4 years and older. Adult supervision is always recommended when children are using garden tools.

Are the tools safe for children?

Yes, the tools are designed with safety in mind, featuring rounded head edges and scaled-down proportions. However, adult supervision is essential during use.

What are the tools made of?

The heads are made from high-quality stainless steel, and the handles are crafted from beautiful ash wood.

How do I clean the tools?

Wipe the stainless-steel heads with a damp cloth after each use and dry thoroughly. Clean the wooden handles with a damp cloth and ensure they are dry.

Can these tools be used for heavy digging?

These tools are designed for light gardening tasks suitable for children, such as digging small holes or turning soil. They are not intended for heavy-duty digging.

What is the benefit of stainless steel heads?

Stainless steel is durable, rust-resistant, and provides good performance in garden soil, ensuring the tools last longer and are easy to clean.

How should I store the tools?

Store the tools in a dry place. Hanging them up can help keep them dry and prevent damage to the wooden handles.

Troubleshooting

Tool head feels loose on the handle

Ensure the handle is securely fitted. If the issue persists, contact customer support as it may indicate a manufacturing defect.

Wood handle appears dry or splintered

Apply a small amount of natural wood oil (e.g., linseed oil) to the handle and wipe off any excess. Store in a dry environment.

Rust spots on the stainless-steel head

Gently scrub the rust spots with a soft cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly afterwards. Regular cleaning and drying will prevent rust.
