Childish Gardening Sets

Alessi Giardino is Designed to Get Kids off the Couch and into the Yard

— December 4, 2011 — Eco
Alessi Giardino is a playful set of gardening tools designed specifically for children. Alessi Giardino is the brainchild of Chris Armstrong, a designer attempting to get kids off of the couch and out into the backyard.

Alessi Giardino is both safe and whimsical, two traits every children's toy must have. The set consists of a shovel, sprinkler attachment and a pruner. Each item is shaped like something; the shovel is a snail, the pruner is a parrot and the sprinkler is a watermelon. Kids are always wanting to help their parents with whatever it is they're doing, yet parents often tell them they can't as the tools or machinery aren't made to be handled by children. Alessi Giardino would make playing in the garden safe for kids. Here's hoping the Armstrong's childish gardening set hits toy stores some time soon.
Trend Themes
1. Child-friendly Gardening Tools - As parents become increasingly concerned about screen time for their children, business professionals can capitalize on the trend of child-friendly gardening tools, designed to get kids off the couch and into the yard.
2. Whimsical Garden Accessories - There is an emerging trend for playful and whimsical garden tools and accessories for children, providing business opportunities for those in the garden supply industry.
3. Educational Playsets - Incorporating educational elements into playful gardening sets could be a disruptive innovation opportunity for toy companies and educational suppliers.
Industry Implications
1. Garden Supplies - The gardening supply industry could expand its current offerings to address the demand for playful and safe tools to encourage children's outdoor activities.
2. Toys - Toy companies could capitalize on this trend by developing more whimsical and child-friendly garden playsets and accessories.
3. Education - Educational suppliers could innovate by incorporating educational elements into child-friendly gardening sets, such as teaching children about soil, insects, and plants.
