Preschool Gardening and Outdoor Tools

One of the most important things we can allow young children to explore, in my opinion, is the great outdoors. Whether that means letting the children explore the woods by the preschool, the mulch around the playground, the field of grass outside, or the school garden, the children will get so much out of exploring natural things.

With that in mind, I’ve created a list of some great items to keep on hand for your class of little outdoors people. Some of them are on the pricier side, but they can be used for years to come! Check out the list below.

I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

  • Kids gardening gloves
  • Child-friendly gardening tools
  • Children’s wheelbarrow
  • A set of kids’ aprons
  • Kid-friendly shovels
  • Plastic pails
  • Watering cans
  • Construction vehicles set
  • Kid’s ride-on excavator

      Thanks, Shaunna! I just love the leaf people and the sunflower — I think the sunflower sun catcher is my favorite, though, because sunflowers are my favorite flowers. 🙂 Thanks for linking up!
