Felco 470 Kids – Children's Trowel & Fork Set, from Age 4

The Felco 470 Kids is the perfect introduction to gardening for young children. This set brings together a child-sized trowel and fork made with genuine ash wood handles and sturdy steel heads.

From age 4, children can copy what the adults do: dig, plant, loosen soil and sow seeds — in the vegetable patch, planter boxes or the garden border. Each tool comes with a hanging cord so they can be easily stored after use. Practical, educational and beautiful: Swiss Felco quality in miniature form.
