My current best plan is to mix up a packet of tomato, chilli
and pepper seeds

I would avoid chilly seed like the plague as you have children involved,
if
any of them get any of the oil from the chilly - any time from seed
inwards_
into their eye then you could really have the book thrown at you.
I would be tempted to stick to something like sweet peas,
Lupins and tree lupins would be an idea but the seed is poisonous.
You don't say how old they are.

They usually range from toddler with parent to about 12, but 6-8 is the
average, and I can deal with up to a couple of hundred over the weekend.
Unfortunately this particular workshop has to be in mid January because of
the way the events programme is working so it needs to be a seed that will
cope with early indoor planting.If it can be something that can be grown on
a windowsill if they have no garden its a double plus.
