Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Kent & Stowe Kids Digging Spade requires no assembly. It arrives ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This tool is designed for use by children aged 4 years and above, with adult supervision. It is compatible with most garden soil types for surface cultivation and leveling tasks.
Care: To maintain the spade's condition and longevity:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the stainless steel head with water to remove soil and debris. A damp cloth can be used for stubborn dirt.
- Drying: Always dry the spade thoroughly with a clean cloth, paying attention to the wooden handle, to prevent rust and wood degradation.
- Handle Care: Periodically, apply a small amount of natural oil (like linseed oil) to the ash wood handle to keep it conditioned and prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: Store the spade in a dry place, preferably in a shed or garage, away from direct moisture and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is stored safely where children cannot access it unsupervised.
