Groundbreakings where kids participate have a way of inspiring our sense that these kids will someday be all grown up and embark on groundbreakings of their own. Groundbreaking ceremonies are symbolic gestures that go back, some say, to King Solomon's times, when the consecration of ground, which is essentially what happens at a first sod-cutting, involved all sorts of obscure sacrifices and complex rituals. Today modern man has found significant ways to anoint the ground upon which he hopes to build. One of these is involving the children of the main people who will be shoveling first dirt at a groundbreaking ceremony by having them stand alongside their parent and hold their own mini groundbreaking kids shovels. CeremonialSupplies.com understands the importance of landmark moments that honor traditions and encourage young kids to participate in projects with physical and visual impact in neighborhoods and communities. A quick review of photos and videos where a parent and their child are standing side by side with groundbreaking shovel in hand, provides inspiration for a wholesome future.
Groundbreaking Kid Shovels
Whether it's a family business, a corporate expansion, or a public structure, including kids in a groundbreaking ceremony is not just a way to give them something to do that doesn't involve their phone, it's a way to plant seeds of success in their young minds. The parent is most likely the owner, a partner, a high stakes shareholder, or the CEO and dressed in business attire, and standing next to them for the official groundbreaking ceremony photos their kids, wearing a miniature version of the same attire, or same color shirt to match CEO mom or dad's business suit, makes for the kind of keepsake that stands the test of time. Aside from dressing alike, the touch that makes this moment symbolic is the groundbreaking shovel and the message imparted in its logo, color, and shape. CeremonialSupplies.com has a selection of finely crafted, stainless steel groundbreaking shovels priced for every budget. Full size ceremonial shovels are 41" in height and the blade's width is 9.5" and have a D-Style handle. This handle is what differentiates ceremonial shovels, which are held in a specific position for the ceremony, photos and videos, from the traditional working shovels that are actually used to move dirt around. At Ceremonial.Supplies.com we have both, and more! The long stem traditional groundbreaking shovel has a stainless steel blade with polished chrome finish for elegant customization while maintaining the working shovel design. For more variation, we also have a full size line of colorful groundbreaking shovels in blue, red, orange, green, yellow and pink and a line of groundbreaking kid shovels that measure 26" in height, with a blade with of 6". These groundbreaking kid shovels are available in blue, red, green, yellow, orange, pink, and teal and both the full size groundbreaking colorful shovels and the groundbreaking kid shovels can be customized directly on the stem, with an engraving plate that is placed on the stem, on the handle, on the blade or all three! For the colorful groundbreaking shovels, logos look best when it's one single color on color. There are a few exceptions where a multiple colored logo will look good over blue, red, and yellow colored shovel blades.
Before the actual ceremony your ceremonial groundbreaking shovels can be dressed with hard hats and giant bow, and placed on display stands. After the sod-cutting takes place they can go back on the display.
