I made a teepee this past year out of a few tall branches and the beans grew up and Aiden LOVED to hide inside. http://www.kiddiegardens.com/bean_teepee.html Pole beans/peas are really easy to grow too.

I was so excited when I saw the green tops and couldn't figure out why they only grew the size of baby carrots when I pulled them out until I talked to my grandma and others who are expert gardeners. Sunflowers are also fun for full sun since they get so big and it really shows how a small seed can grow into something so big! It is fun to cut off the tops and eat the seeds and also put them out in the yard to feed the birds and squirrels. I think peppers and green beans like the full sun too. I want to try more tomatoes too! Good luck!
