Electronics

My grandson has expressed an interest in how things are made. He watches 'How It's Made' and 'Myth Busters'. I'd like to get him something for Christmas that's possibly an introduction to electronics or something but I've no idea where to start. He's 11. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks
