I find an ordinary kitchen spoon, fork and butter knife from the cutlery drawer are ideal for toddlers. Little hands are used to handling cutlery already, and they cost nothing. "proper" tools are either too blunt, too plasticky, or too heavy for little people. Toys not tools.

The Aldi ones look really cute, but are still fairly big...maybe suitable for 10+. I've tried to get my various little people involved in the garden, but they really only want to sit in the mud and make pies, or hunt for worms.
