Cars or rather vehicles are fine, she likes that stuff and if it gave us something to learn from then we could adapt into other things.I worked my way over to the Lego education site, and that stuff is way cool, but I am having a hard time figuring out what sets you would start out with.
Like this seems very nice, tough it's more than I had planned to spend right now:http://www.legoeducation.us/eng/product/simple_and_motorized_mechanisms_base_set/2068 @Annkan I'd suggest a couple of the smaller Technic sets, just to get a feel for studless building, the different types of connecting pin and so forth. At that point, have a look around for either a set that comes with Power functions included, or one that can be upgraded. These do tend to be at the expensive end of the scale though.So for example, of the sets that came out last year, the CLAAS XERION Tractor is a superb set, with some remarkable features, both manual and powered. I'd say, however, that it might be a bit ambitious for someone just starting out.The Drag Racer on the other hand is a little cheaper and somewhat simpler. The functions are all manual, but it does give the option of being upgraded with power functions at a later date, so more of a gradual introduction.And it's a Drag Racer, which is going to appeal to most 6 year-old boys!
