If your New Year's resolution is to grow your own vegetables, then you'll be spoilt for choice for information on gardening and how to get young children involved.
Dig In, the BBC's campaign encouraging people to grow and cook their own vegetables, will be expanded this year to include resources aimed at early years practitioners and young families.
The resources, made available this month, include simple planting and colouring activities, advice on how to record the growth of the produce, things to make and information on how the activities link to the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. Dig In also plans to link with Sure Start Children's Centres to encourage families to grow their own produce.
