We’ll be planting our garden soon, and our kids will be in the thick of it. This colorful kids gardening tool set is made by Toysmith, a company that assures customers of its commitment to providing safe toys. We have a similar set from Pottery Barn Kids that we bought a few years ago. Even if you aren’t inclined to plant a garden, give the kids some digging tools and a pile of dirt (or better yet, mud) and they’ll be set for hours.
