We all know how difficult it can be to get kids to show an interest in the origins of the things they eat and the health benefits that a food product may provide. It is commonly thought that the best way to achieve this is to involve them in the process fully, by encouraging them to roll their sleeves up and get their hands dirty. Fortunately this has just been made easier, following the release of a new range of fun and informative gardening activity books for children from an innovative publisher that will entertain and educate in equal measure. Each activity book comes with a set of organic seeds, growing instructions and a recipe. So not only is a great story on offer, but the growth and subsequent eating of the end product adds a real element of reward for children and adults alike. The beautifully illustrated books are set in the magical world of Seed City, where the reader follows the antics of Rudi Radish, Chrissie Cress and their friends. Rudi’s latest adventure is entitled Bong Bong Bongity Bong, where he competes in Seed City’s very own Battle of the Bands. This story comes complete with organic radish seeds, a ‘how to grow’ guide and a recipe idea. The series offers an introduction to traditional and new vegetables that many kids (and adults) may not have experienced before, and the accompanying recipes are an excellent way to incorporate these into your diet. The books are available to purchase online, along with a range of seeds and related sprouting products. There is no doubt that a balanced diet and an active lifestyle will pay dividends to the well-being of a child, but these books open up a whole new area of learning and stimulation, in recognising where their food has come from and in earning a sense of community through the sharing of the fruits of their labour. Research has shown that when your child eats healthily they perform better in every aspect of their life, from learning to sporting activities. Activity books for children make food education fun and enjoyable, and will arm children with the necessary skills to transform a humble seed into a delicious meal.
