I agree, I believe she will get frustrated with that machine really fast as it is a chain stitch and does not make stitches like a normal sewing machine does that has a bobbin. I taught my daughter and a friends daughter with a regular sewing machine at that age, just made sure to reduce the speed and/or put something in the control pedal so that it could not be pushed all the way down. Learning to sew without frustration will increase the fun and instill a life long desire to do so. Start her out on lined paper with no thread in the machine to get the feel of following a straight line.
