Dipper Gourd Seeds produce distinctive, long-handled gourds prized for their practical shape and traditional uses. These heirloom gourds grow up to 2 feet long, with a narrow neck that widens into a rounded, bulbous end measuring about 5 inches across. Once dried and cut, the gourds can be crafted into functional ladles, decorative pieces, or unique birdhouses.

Dipper gourds are vigorous warm-season vines that benefit from trellising. Training vines upward encourages straighter necks that are ideal for handles, while gourds grown on the ground tend to develop natural curves. Their unusual form and hands-on uses make them a rewarding crop for gardeners, crafters, and educational projects.

Distinctive Shape with Practical Uses:

  • Long, slender neck with a rounded “dipper” end
  • Grows up to 2 feet long with a bulbous base around 5 inches wide
  • Trellising helps produce straighter handles
  • Naturally curved shapes form when grown along the ground

Why Customers Love Dipper Gourds:

  • Ideal for making ladles and scoops when harvested and dried early
  • Excellent material for decorative and functional crafts
  • Popular choice for unique birdhouses
  • Fun, hands-on project for gardeners and makers

How to Use / How to Grow:
Plant dipper gourd seeds in full sun after all danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Choose fertile, well-drained soil and provide consistent watering throughout the growing season. Allow plenty of space for vines or grow on a sturdy trellis for improved shape and air circulation.

For best germination, seeds benefit from scarification prior to planting. Lightly nick, scratch, or sand the seed coat using sandpaper or a nail file, then soak seeds before sowing. This helps moisture penetrate the seed coat and improves sprouting rates. Follow packet instructions for specific planting depth and timing.

Harvest gourds when fully mature for crafts or earlier if shaping ladles. Cure dried gourds in a warm, well-ventilated area before cutting or use.

Annoying sound but DOGGY TOY JOY!!
Pattern Name: Skunk
My 14 month old is squeaker OBSESSED, but she easily does surgery and defluffs. However this toy has been perfect. The sound when you shake is over the top and creates so much excitement. She loves to chase and chew this and play tug with this, and no tears from tug or points where she's tried to excise squeaker so far!

Great toy loved by 3 big dogs
Pattern Name: Skunk
We have a black lab and 2 grandpups (a Great Dane and a Cane Corso) that visit regularly. All 3 love this toy. All 3 destroy toys pretty quickly, sometimes within minutes. I have no idea what it is about this one, but they have not even remotely destroyed it except for major slobber damage from being so loved. I bought the first one months ago from TJ Maxx and then bought another on here thinking it could be a replacement when the first one got destroyed. The first one has yet to be destroyed. It sounds like there is a water bottle inside of it but it is some kind of coil thing. That being said, this toy can be very annoying to listen to, but we tolerate it for 3 very happy dogs.

Not for us, unfortunately.
Pattern Name: Chipmunk
Cute idea. We have doxies. Unfortunately, they ripped the apart in 5 minutes to get to the squeaker. I'm sure other breeds are more gentle with their toys. It would be a great toy for them.

Very durable
Pattern Name: Chipmunk
Our dog loves this "squeaky." He got it as a gift 11 months ago and I finally had to replace it because he almost had the head and tail chewed off -- took him about a year of chewing. I almost hated to throw the old one away because the squeakers still worked! Our dog is small -- about 22 lbs. -- but is a terrier mix and loves playing tug-of-war with this Zippy toy and he also loves shaking it like crazy. It's a great value compared to the toys I find in the local pet stores. Most of those "die" because he punctures them with his teeth so they no longer squeak. This one is well worth the price.
