Outdoor & Garden Play
by Hape
A pointed shovel for outdoor pretend play
Some days your child may head straight for the garden with the shovel in hand, deciding there is work to be done before anyone else has caught up. Other days it may sit beside them while they plan where the next garden job should be. Without anyone really noticing, it becomes one of those outdoor pieces that gives play a beginning: grab the shovel, step outside, become the gardener.

Buying guidance
Who this product is particularly well suited to.
Best for children 4 years+ who are drawn to outdoor role play, especially homes with a garden, yard or outdoor play area where a young gardener story makes sense. It is also a good fit when you are buying for another family and want something grounded in active outside play rather than a large play setup.
4 years+
14.8 × 4.3 × 67 cm
Product overview
There is a lovely seriousness that appears when your child believes the garden needs them. At first, the shovel may simply come outside for a look around. Soon, it becomes part of the routine: checking the garden, finding the next patch to work on, and taking charge of a small outdoor world. Before long, your little one is not just playing outside. They are returning to a role that feels useful, active and all their own.
