Not just for kids...though it would be nice the get them to do some of the work!

I love the kids' spades for small jobs that are too big for a trowel. My hands and wrists get sore using a full weight border spade for very long- but the small kiddie spades are much lighter. Also brightly coloured so easy to find when you put them down!!
They're reasonably good quality- metal and wood, and come as spades rakes and brushes. €3.99 I think
