Hi everyone,
I recently became a new mom and I am eager to encourage my baby's interest in gardening from an early age. I want to introduce her to the joys of planting and growing from an early age. However, I am not sure where to begin.
Can anyone recommend any gardening toys for infants that will help me get her started? I want to find something that is safe, educational, and fun for her to use.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Hi everyone,
I'd like to recommend the "Grow with Me! Garden Tool Set" by Melissa & Doug. This set includes a sturdy metal gardening trowel, a cultivator fork, and a rake, all with wooden handles.
What's great about this toy is that it is built to last, which is a major plus when it comes to kids' toys. It is also big enough so that both the child and the parent can easily handle it together.
I got this set for my daughter when she was about 18 months old, and she has used it numerous times over the years to help me with gardening. As she's grown, she's developed a much greater interest in plants and nature, and I know that this toy has played a role in nurturing that interest.
In summary, the "Grow with Me! Garden Tool Set" by Melissa & Doug is an excellent toy for introducing young children to gardening in a safe and fun way. It's a high-quality set that will last for years and encourage children to learn about the world around them.
Hi there!
As a fellow parent, I can recommend the toy called "My First Garden" by Fisher Price. It is suitable for infants as young as 6 months old and is designed to introduce them to the basic concepts of planting and growing.
The toy consists of a plastic planter that comes with four seed packets, each with a picture of the type of plant it will grow. My son loved watching the seeds sprout and seeing the different colors of the flowers. The toy also makes a clicking sound when you press the flower button, which is a fun feature for babies.
Overall, I found "My First Garden" to be a great way to get my son interested in gardening and nature. It gave us a fun bonding activity that we could do together, and it helped him learn about the life cycle of plants.
I hope this helps!
Hey there!
When my son was an infant, I purchased the "Gardening Set" by Green Toys, and it was a hit with him. The set contains three pieces of basic gardening tools: a spade, a rake, and a hoe, all of which are made from eco-friendly materials.
I found that these toys were sturdy and durable enough to withstand my son's rough play and they also encouraged his development of fine motor skills while keeping him entertained. When he was first becoming mobile, he enjoyed crawling around the garden patch with his tools and digging in the soil.
The gardening set was an excellent introduction to gardening for my babe. It allowed him to interact with plants outside, gaining an understanding of the textures of soil and the smells of fresh herbs. It was also great for helping him bond with others, as he loved sharing his "harvest" of dandelions with his siblings.
Overall, the Gardening Set by Green Toys was a fun and educational addition to our toy collection, and it gave my son a sense of responsibility and the foundation for a love of gardening which he still carries with him today.
Hello,
As a grandparent, I gifted my grandson the "Step2 Garden Kneeler Seat and Tool Storage" set, and he absolutely loved it. The kneeler is designed to provide comfort and support to his knees while he gardens, and it can be easily flipped over to become a seat when he needs a break.
This toy comes with a variety of sturdy gardening tools, which are all made from high-quality materials that are safe for young children. The set fits neatly inside the storage compartment, making it easy to keep everything organized and in one place.
The "Step2 Garden Kneeler Seat and Tool Storage" set is perfect for young children who are serious about gardening. It's the ideal way to encourage children to love the outdoors, and it will help them stay interested in gardening as they grow older.
Overall, I think that this toy is excellent for children who want to learn about gardening in a fun and interactive way. It’s also great for grandparents who want to bond with their grandkids while teaching them the value of growing and caring for plants.
