Scopes for children

Could anyone advice what would make a great telescope for my kids to become interested in looking up and enjoying the universe......

I have already bought them good binoculars Bushnell Zoom 10X22X50's and also they have just started pointing these towards the moon etc, I'm not sure if my old Meade 4" (i think) would get there enthusiusm going .......they are 6 years and 10 years old........

I have shown them pictures of the galaxies from this site and others, and have started them thinking about the heavens.

Any ideas would be warmly received............

PS Many sites claim some of the scopes are ideal for beginners but their is no mention to mirror quality etc etc
