Hi Solanum,
I've shown kids a lot through my telescopes. I find that before the age of about 8 they don't really see much. You can tell by asking them what they see before you tell them.
When my daughter (now 13) was 8 she suddenly saw more moon of Saturn than I could make out and was blown away by the detail on Jupiter. My first telescope experience was at about age 8 or 9 and I've been hooked ever since.
Hope this helps.
Have fun,
Doug
