FAQs

What age is this set suitable for?

This set is suitable for children aged 4 and above, with adult supervision always recommended.

Are the tools safe for children?

Yes, the tool heads have rounded edges to ensure safety during use.

What are the tools made of?

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

Can these tools be used for heavy-duty gardening?

These tools are designed for children and light gardening tasks such as planting seeds, seedlings, or bulbs in soft soil. They are not intended for heavy-duty work.

How should I care for the wooden handles?

To maintain the ash wood handles, clean them with a damp cloth and ensure they are dry. Occasionally applying a light coat of natural oil can help preserve the wood.

What is included in the set?

The set includes one hand trowel and one hand fork, both sized and designed for children.

Will the stainless steel heads rust?

High-quality stainless steel is rust-resistant. Proper cleaning and drying after each use will help maintain its condition and prevent any potential corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Tools feel rough or splintery

This is rare with ash wood, but if you notice any rough spots on the handle, you can gently sand it with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a light coat of natural oil.

Soil sticking to the head

Ensure the tool is wiped clean and dry after every use. A light polish with beeswax can also help prevent soil adhesion.

Child finds the tools difficult to hold

While designed for small hands, ensure the child is holding the tool towards the end of the handle for better leverage. Confirm they are using the correct tool for the task (e.g., trowel for digging, fork for loosening).
