Not really just seen them last year in a magazine and I liked the look of them. Good for the childrens pack lunch boxes I thought.

I've got about 10 Micro Tomato seeds if they are any good to you.  The plant only grows about 30cm and the toms are about grape size.

Depends on what you mean by a lot, how many children, how often you are going to put them in their lunch boxes and how many they will eat at a sitting.   ;D   ;) 

The plants produce as much as you would expect from something so small.  Two plants kept my daughter happy but then she had other toms to snack on too.

I have several varieties if you just want ones that are regular size plants that produce small grape shaped tomatoes. Most are like the tiny plum shaped ones, is that what you are looking for? I also have  a few varieties of currant tomatoes but they are very very tiny ,a bit like recurrants.If you wish I will look up more specifics for you. XX Jeannine

If you got kids then Peacevine may be a good choice as it is a cherry tomato with TWICE the vitamin C.

Make the kids bounce!

Hi Rosy. Suttons & Dobies are doing tomato plants called hundreds & thousands. Could they be what you are looking for.
