A cool mini-wheelbarrow for kids.

The Radio Flyer Wheelbarrow is a practical and fun gift for any young child who loves to play outside. It’s a miniaturized wheelbarrow designed for kids who want to haul around their stuff or help mom or dad with their yard chores. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s a toy. This Radio Flyer Wheelbarrow is solid in construction while retaining that classic look of a wheelbarrow from days gone by.This toy wheelbarrow can hold up to 25 lbs of stuff — dirt, toys, dolls, water, snow, sand, grass, and anything else your child can get his or her hands on. Not only that, but this Radio Flyer Wheelbarrow can be used as a teaching tool allowing you to get your child involved in helping with your lawn and garden chores but in a fun way that won’t feel like a chore.

Play is the essence of every child that we tend to lose as we get older. I think it’s essential that children are encouraged to engage in the world in a meaningful and positive way, which I feel the Radio Flyer Wheelbarrow inspires a child to do. The only toys I write about on Chainsaw Journal are ones that encourage a child to link to the outside world and bring forth a sense of wonder and sharing with others.

A positive toy allows a child to explore her own nature and discover the joy of engaging with the world around her. I genuinely feel that the Radio Flyer Wheelbarrow is a wonderful gift for young children and will remain in their memories long after the toy wheelbarrow has become rusted and worn.

Yup! Assembly Required. You can do it! It’s for your child. Don’t be lazy.

Complimentary Toys | Kids Gardening Tools

The Radio Flyer Wheelbarrow is a fantastic toy for kids but I thought it would be beneficial to share a few other ideas that will allow your child to get the maximum amount of fun from his toy wheelbarrow. After all, if he wants to add leaves or dirt he’ll need a toy rake and toy shovel. If you want your child to help with gardening then the toy garden tools and children’s garden gloves will be essential.

Either way, these are just some ideas to go along with the Radio Flyer Wheelbarrow.
