Back in 1959 a very good russian writer has written a book about do it
yourself a radioreceiver with one and two transistors in 50 different
ways.
When I had 7 yers old I've build all those 50 schematics just because
it was a so good written book.

Now things has changed, you can even teach her electronics with a
serious solderless kit. Snapcircuit is nice, but not for a fan of
electronics which will be bored in less than 3 days. Nowadays some
kids have violet aura (being named indigo children). Such kids are
very difficult to be pleased with simple things. Read about those and
see if she belongs to those.

Teach her to solder as a first step. Explain her that satistfaction of
a self manufactured blinking LED or a singing bird have also pain
steps. Oce she will solder with pleasure, everything it's possible.
