Default Small portable vintage sewing machine for a children

Hi,
My daughter is only 4 years old but she loves to watch me sewing. She is already asking me to "sew something" with me. I was thinking about buying her a Sewhandy, but the price for this sewing machine seem quite high to me (considering she may outgrow it in a few years). I read some post about teaching children to sew with a hand crank machine and it seem a very good idea. My daughter would love cranking! But buying another full size machine is not an option (space issue) So... how about putting an hand crank to a FW? I don't have one, but you can get one in my area for about 150-200$.
I'm not in a hurry because I'm thinking about this as a birthday present in January. I can take my time to find the right machine at the right price. I just don't know what would be best for a children young as she is. Any thought?
