If your daughter is ready to handle building as well as programming....Mindstorm will be a good start.....work on simple projects....but if you think she may get frustrated...then Knex or Capsela (if they still sell it) also ...Discovery Toys had a kit....like Lego's......but the gears were larger in size - I can't remember what it was called...but she can make ferris wheels, etc.....it is just a start to maintain as well as nurturing her interests.
