I just got a pololu zumo robot for prototyping an industrial application at work. My daughter is only 3, but if she were 5-12 it would be a likely gift for her this Christmas. Just snap an arduino uno on top and you are literally off to the races. Not sure about the visual options there, but the example programs are an excellent hacking off point.
