what age range are the children re: activities/games?
Child friendly plants - why not make a fruit/vegetable patch and fresh herbs. Rocket and reddish grow quickly so they are good to use as the children will see the progress of their work faster. The children will be gaining knowledge of where fruit/veg come from. Recently i did a topic on fruit/veg and i was amazed at how many children aged 2 and a half to 4 thought fruit/veg came from a shop. Depending on the age range you could extend on this by creating a market/veg shop, developing their understanding of what happens to the veg/fruit once it is harvested. Steer clear of Rhubarb as the leaves are poisonious
Hope this helps
