Thanks for your help. My daughter is very respectful of things, which is great. She is the type of kid that plays with porcelain tea sets and eats off real dishes with no problems. That being said, I'm not crazy enough to give her a power machine... yet anyway. Maybe in a few years. And she'll only be working on things when I am present. I've heard some pretty awful things about the newer toy machines which is why I was thinking a vintage child's machine. I'm not totally sold on the whole thing anyway, but you guys have been helpful.
