Help your child connect with the earth!
Children need good garden tools. Plastic toy gardening tools break or are discarded in favor of "real" ones, but adult tools are too awkward for children. Good quality, child-sized tools send children the message that their contribution to the garden is valued. Sturdy garden equipment helps create a successful gardening experience.
~ good design
With metal wheelbarrows, water from rain pools up in the bucket and eventually rusts through. Or the nuts and bolts break under use from rust or metal fatigue. When using a shovel, the paint is easily scraped which quickly leads to rust. Wheelbarrows made with plastic buckets don't last; left out in the sun they become brittle, and crack easily. Before long, they end up in a landfill as garbage.
simple yet strong - Eartheasy's design is unique in the way the legs carry through to the inside of the side pieces. This gives strength to the sides, and because the legs are secured from above, it also makes the legs much stronger. This eliminates the need for extra leg bracing under the wheelbarrow, making the design easier to build.
repairable - individual components are bolted together, and are easy to replace

an ideal Parent-Child activity
The
scale of this project is just right for a parent/child activity, a great
way to teach your child basic woodworking skills. A child who has helped
build his/her own wheelbarrow will use it with pride and treat it with
respect.
~ a useful gift
One of the best things you can do for a child is help
them discover nature, and a garden is the ideal learning ground for children
of all ages. Their experiences can develop into a life-long, healthy appreciation
of gardening.
