Margaret the Cabbage: sensitive with a zest for adventure and is fascinated by space, and especially the moon.As for the remaining 25 Episodes, you can expect everything that featured in the first series, as well as a few next extras. There are two new Veggies in the nursery (more news on them later..), Compo seems to have undergone a bit of an upgrade plus, there's a whole lot more to be heard from Sebastian, the debonair Aubergine. This time round it's been an even greater pleasure writing and devising for the show. Knowing how it looks, how the characters / puppets respond, how the Tiddlers can be involved it's really allowed us to push the boat out creatively. In addition, now, when the Tiddlers roll up to the TV set, they'll be bringing expectations and preconceptions of what they've seen on the box at home. I'm really looking forward to this. Now they know the veggies, their characters and also Mr Bloom it will be interesting to see how this may affect the show.

Your toddler may become completely engrossed in gardening with you, however be prepared for the fact that they may have a limited attention span and won't be absorbed for more than a few minutes at a time.

Fannie swore up and down that she hadleft the house. Oh dear, Oh dear. We all ran and I lost some of my beautiful,precious kernels. All because Fannie thought Miss Mae had left the house.”“That’s enough fussing, Corny. I’m just a doll trying to live,” Fannie says in a huff. The news that we were going to get 'another go' with The Veggies this year was fantastic. By the end of filming the last year there were lots of excited thoughts floating around about improvements, developments, elaborations that could all be made IF we got a second series. Well as of Monday 4th we'll be implementing those pipe dreams so please, if you want to do 'Sunshine dance' over the weekend to ward off any looming bad weather, we'd much appreciate it. (In fact, if you could keep it up for the next 4 weeks, that'd be even better...)CBeebies’ Mr Bloom is coming to our theatre with his family of Veggies in a new stage show which is sure to delight the whole family.

Encourage them to hold these creatures gently and carefully so that they can see what minibeasts look like Meet the Veggies…WHAT HAPPENS IN MISS MAE’S KITCHEN? by Charlotte Raybon E Eloquent Books New York, New York The Wee MacGregors: the Radishes, a law unto themselves – cheeky, mischievous, observant and attentive.If your little one really loves getting out and about in the garden it can be helpful to buy a set of child-friendly mini-tools that they can hold and use by themselves. Having a little watering can, rake, trowel and spade can really help build your child’s sense of independence as well as their physical movement and fine motor skills. Faulks admits he isn’t a keen gardener himself, although he loves the outdoors.
