I would recommend a Singer 301A. I have 3 of them. My DGD (8) and DGS (10) love sewing on them. They have been sewing on them for 4-5 years with me nearby. They are learning to thread them right now. When they have learned to thread them, including the bobbin, change the needle and a few other necessities they each will get a machine for their use in their homes.
