Outdoor & Garden Play

Mighty Shovel, green

by Hape

The Hape Mighty Shovel, green gives outside role play a clear purpose.

There is a stage when going outside is not quite enough; your little one wants a reason to be busy. The Mighty Shovel, green gives that pretend work a clear shape, so outdoor play can become their own serious job, led by them.

The shovel that gets a job title

Some afternoons, outdoor play begins with a firm little announcement: there is work to do. The green Mighty Shovel comes too, and your child sets the pace — a few serious steps, a pause, then back to the task they have invented. Other days it is a quick burst before dinner. Eventually it becomes one of those familiar outdoor props that quietly says, I’m helping.

Product overview

When outside time turns into work they invented

Children often copy the serious jobs they see around them long before they can explain what they are doing. With the Mighty Shovel, green, outdoor play can settle into a little rhythm: at first they simply take it with them, soon they are choosing where the job needs to happen, and before long it is the thing they reach for when they want to feel busy and involved.
