When my daughter was younger, we bought her a &quot;Snap Circuits Jr electronic Set&quot;. It&#x27;s easy to connect and has a few projects. She liked it a lot.<p>Later we bought her a &quot;Arduinos Sparkfun Professional Inventor&#x27;s Kit&quot;, but she didn&#x27;t play with it too much. (This is more expensive (x2 or x3) that buying each part separately but it&#x27;s a nice starting kit and has many initial projects. (Buy more LEDs in the local store, they are cheap and nice.))<p>For more ideas, I remember a very interesting page: The Sylvia&#x27;s Super-Awesome Maker Show! : <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sylviashow.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sylviashow.com&#x2F;</a>
