Rightio, there is no getting away from it. It is time to get out into the garden and sort out all of the chaos and detritus that winter has left behind. We have all spent enough time cooped up in the house, staring out the windows and waiting for Spring. Well, it is here now, so no more excuses, get outside, breathe in the fresh air and get busy doing all those jobs we kind of like and kind of dread. Of course, while we are out there we had better keep the children happy with some outdoor toys, some junior gardening tools or maybe even a sand pit or play house.
If you’re planning to clean up the lawn and cut back the hedges (there’s not much time left before the birds start nesting) then maybe you could clear a space for something very special from Plum Products. Plum is a family run business that has been trading for over 23 years which prides itself on producing high quality outdoor wooden toys that can be enjoyed by generations of children in the same family. As a member of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Plum takes its responsibilities for safety and sustainability very seriously, meaning that their products are as safe and ethical as they are fun.
One of my favourite garden toys (before Dad put up the goal posts) when I was little was our sand pit. I don’t know what it is, but children love playing in and with sand. They love digging holes, filling them in and then digging a fresh one. They love using a watering can to sprinkle water wherever they can and they absolutely love playing in mud! Here at WoodenToyShop we sell a range of sand pits from Plum including this fabulous Square Sand Pit which has plenty of room for up to four young children who can choose to sit on the side or (let’s face it, they will!) just in the sand. Like the other Plum Products sand pits, this one comes with a protective cover and ground sheet which will keep the sand clean and dry when not in use and prevent weed growth from underneath. This sturdy sand pit will sit quietly in a corner of your garden and its natural wooden frame means that it will never look out of place.
Go
The Plum Sand and Picnic Table is a fantastic combination of outdoor play table, children’s picnic table and sand pit. Whether you want to feed your children, let them play games or draw and paint or play with sand, this cracking table can accommodate your needs. And let’s face it, kids love pretending to be like grownups and this mini version of adult furniture is bound to be popular with the little ones!
What
If you are playing in sand you need one or two tools for maximum fun. Here at WoodenToyShop we can offer brightly coloured hand tools, buckets, long handled tools, wheelbarrows and watering cans. We can even supply junior gardening gloves! So now that it really is time to put on your wellies and get cracking on the spring gardening jobs everyone can muck in!
