We gave some sprout stalks to the weaners & they played with them for hours, either that or they were trying to mug each other to get more for themslves  :D

My KKs love them - full of vitamins & fibre.  As Mrs S says - the youngsters will play with them for hours.
Some will eat everything - stalks, roots the lot, others will leave the "woody" bits - which end up on the compost heap.
