    I would suspect that that lego kit's probably beyond a 9 year old unless he's /way/ above average intelligence.

    Honestly, I think the best way to learn is by messing around. Even playing games (preferably puzzles) involves learning about windows, double clicking, using the start menu, shutting down, mouse control, learning where keys are, etc. etc.

    Once kids have the basics, they'll learn the rest themselves.
