Pink is the New Green in Children's Gardening Tools
Added: (Fri Jun 27 2008)
Spotty Boxes is delighted to announce that it is adding a pink wheelbarrow to its range of children’s gardening tools and equipment. With effect from 28 June 2008, a children’s wheelbarrow will be available in pink.
In the gardening world, pink is the new green with a flood of beautiful gardening tools for both children and adults available in pink and other girlie colours including lilac and floral patterns.
For children, you can now buy pink trowels, forks, garden bags and watering cans. Pink no longer stops with Barbie and party dresses but extends to a full range of gardening tools.
It would be easy to assume that these pink tools are made of poor quality plastic and are entirely for show. In fact, many of them are good quality, well designed children’s gardening tools which typically have metal heads and wooden handles. The new pink wheelbarrow available from Spotty Boxes has a plastic body to ensure that it is light enough for young children to handle but has a sturdy metal frame.
Gardening has been enjoyed by generations of children. Attractive tools designed specifically with children in mind simply make it easier to give them the opportunity to experience the joy of planting and growing flowers, vegetables and fruits. Manufacturing the tools in pink can certainly make them appealing to most little girls but other colours including blue and even traditional green are usually available.
Whatever the colour of the tools, involving children in gardening can be as rewarding for parents and grandparents as for the children. For most adults, the process of choosing a seed, planting it, tending it and finally harvesting it will never have seemed so miraculous as when seen through the eyes of a child. Routine chores such as raking leaves and putting them in a child size wheelbarrow to transport to a leaf bin become adventures filled with laughter and joy.
