I am looking for a tool that is like a bulb planting tool, but smaller,

Visit a hardware store, I'm sure you'll be able find the perfect diameter
pipe. For a foot of pipe, I doubt you'll pay more then a dollar. Have them
thread 1 side, and add on a T connector to give a mini handle you can grip.

Nifty idea, but...if the OP wants this to dig smaller holes than a
bulb planter, how's he gonna get the dirt out? OTOH, a pipe with a
hole drilled through it so a rod/nail could be pushed through and
easily removed...?

Even better, cut a saddle shaped segment out an inch or two above the
end of the pipe-more room to push out the dirt.

The tool is called a "dibble"
A fid would probably work
Otherwise if you need it to be hollow and remove a core you want a soil sampler.

Out of curiosity, what do you want the smaller holes for?
