Frequently Asked Questions

What is the large wooden shovel used for?

It is made for digging and scooping big loads in a sandpit or at the beach. The design suits sensory play and outdoor use, letting children move large scoops of sand, soil or water while swapping plastic tools for a natural timber one.

How does it compare to a plastic bucket and spade?

This is a natural timber alternative to a plastic bucket and spade, hand crafted to resemble a vintage style from a day when plastic did not exist. It helps convert a sandpit or sensory area from plastic tools to a more tactile, natural play space.

Is the timber treated for water play?

Yes. The timber has been oiled with a water-proof non-toxic oil, so the shovel stands up to wet sand and water play as well as dry digging. The finish helps protect the wood during regular outdoor use at the beach or sandpit.

How big and heavy is the shovel?

The shovel measures about 10cm wide, 28cm long and 9cm high, and weighs only around 200g. It is a large scoop yet light in the hand, which makes lifting full loads of sand easier for younger diggers.

Can it be used with water as well as dry sand?

Yes. It is open-ended with several uses, working for dry sand play and water play alike. Children can dig and shovel in a dry sandpit, then scoop wet sand or water at the beach with the same tool.

What makes the shovel easy to hold?

The large rippled wooden handle is shaped for an easy, comfortable grip, so children can hold on while carrying heavy scoops. The textured handle gives extra control during digging and shovelling in sensory play.

Who designed the shovel and where is it made?

It was designed by an Australian Early Childhood Teacher and crafted in Vietnam. The design focuses on durable, natural materials for outdoor play, giving a sturdy wooden scoop built for regular use at the beach and in the sandpit.
