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!

We moved to a house with quite a bit of property so I bought this for my kids. It is cute, but more toy than really tools for kids over [...] since the shovel and spades are so small, you can't really do a good job digging to transplant any plants larger than 2" x 2". We have clay soil & handles with some length are required to get any leverage. Great as intro to gardening for the kids to play around in the yard, but if they are really going to help you out, get them some of the more ergonomic grown up tools that really work well and are less frustrating to get quick results.

I purchased this garden tool kit and tote for a 6 year old who loves to work in the yard. It is sometimes hard to judge the quality of a product without seeing it. This one did not disappoint me. The tools were constructed of wood and metal, and the tote was made of sturdy canvas with cute bugs stamped on the side. I added a pair of garden gloves and some seed packets in the the tote to make a really cute gift.

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 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!!!

The item was smaller than expected, however it is a well made product and very suitable for the 5 years and younger group.

This is a cute product to get kids into gardening. I bought for my 15 month old to use this summer in the yard while I garden. My only complaint is that the tote does not sit up by itself as its made of thin canvas. Also I could not find the info on this site but this product is made in China. Let's hope he doesn't chew on the tools!

I was really disappointed with this product. The bag was inferior and the tools was designed more for preschoolers than older children. It was very light weight and was not what I expected as displayed in the picture. The only reason I didn't return it is because I didn't want to pay the shipping cost.

Received this set today and it is very well made perfect for little ones with small hands great for two year olds to five year olds maybe six year old just like mom and dads nice metal ends and wooden handles and the tote is darling for a boy or girl with plenty of room for more gardening necessities highly recommend for your little helper they will feel grown up with this set I purchased a watering can because it did not have one no biggie for the price its worth it will make great gifts too will buy more for sure
