Default Teaching a 5 Year Old to Sew

My oldest daughter is showing serious interest in learning to sew. She's 5 now (jolly, where did that time go!) I sew primarily by machine but I don't know if I should start her on the machine or sewing by hand. Should I stress the quarter inch seam allowance and accuracy? Should I let her "lead" the way, or keep it structured like a sewing class? I'm thinking of pulling out my plastic Brother because it has a speed control option, versus my vintage Singers. I would love any advice on teaching young ones to sew!
