----- Is there anyone who would recommend a plant with reproductive aspects that would be easily fertilized by children 10 years of age?
I'd recommend using two very different summer squash. It's important to tape the blossoms shut the night before they open. (The blue low tack masking tape works well.) And then be sure they can tell the female flowers from the male flowers. And be extra extra sure they cut off the male blossom and carry it to the plant with the female flower and not vice versa. Then they need to retape the female flower so there is no additional random pollination by bees. Male flowers may be then used in a squash blossom recipe if you like. Ashworth's book on seed saving is helpful if you'd like more info.
