I'm currently in the process of buying various old Commodore hardware (C64, A500, A1200) and investing in better tooling (just got an Oscilloscope) for this reason.
My oldest son (8) and daughter (6) are both interested and at an age where I can introduce them to electronics and computing. When I was my son's age I was already building simple radio receivers (crystal + transistor) so they're old enough to start with these machines.
Laptops will just get used for web games and youtube anyhow.
