You could buy Grow bags , and plant lettuces, scallions and radishes in them- All really easy to grow -and NO Digging.
Peas are great for Kids - but you have to stake them - but they are really easy and you normaly get a bumper crop and added benefit ,crop some early and use as mange tout-

Great to send child out to the garden to get fresh peas for dinner and takes them ages to shell them- great value to keep them occupied,-and whats more they eat them too.

Potatoes can be grown in anything at all- like a bucket./ flower pot.

Just get one that has sprouted _ big white tuber thing from side- IYKWIM or put an old one in the hot press - it'll sprout in time- split it lengthways and plant it. After a few months you'll have lovely fresh spuds- Be aware though that they only take about 10 mins to cook straight from the garden.
Hope this helps.
