My husband and I plant a vegetable garden every year and since our daughter was an infant she expressed an interest in helping Daddy in the garden. In time for our planting season this year, we purchased this adorable garden tote that comes with metal tools. She has used it everyday that she has played in and around the garden all summer. It's really sweet to see that she has an interest in helping to grow the vegetables and nice for her to have her own tools so that she feels like a big girl.

When our grand-daughter received her tool kit as a birthday present, she wnet wild over it. The metal tools just helps her dig and plant in the garden and we planted a rose bush for her birthday so that she can take care of it and watch it as she and it grows.

I don't own this yet, but thought I'd leave a note here saying that the "Child of the World" catalog of products for Montessori schools (I've just been perusing their latest catalog) lists this as their choice for an excellent gardening set for ages 3-6. UPDATE OCT 23, 2008: I wrote the first part of this review Apr. 12, 2008. Shortly after that, I ordered this for my 3-year-old, and she spent the entire summer gardening with me, thrilled to have her own tools that fit her hands yet were durable & felt like grown-ups' tools. And she loved having that tote for them. She now stores her gardening gloves in there, leaves she has collected, her water bottle, a doll, etc. I will be ordering more to give as gifts. Highly recommend this!

I bought this for my friend's daughter as a gift. It's perfect! She can be just like mom out in the garden! I showed people at my office before wrapping it up and have never heard so many "ahhhhhs!!".

If your little one is too young for the metal tools right now, you can go to the dollar store and purchase plastic ones and simply put them in the other side of the adorable bag.

I highly reccomend this product AND this seller, I was suprised at how FAST it came!!!
