Eyepiece for a small child

Hello,
My little boy has been asking about the stars and planets. He often sees me setting up before he goes to bed and I think it is time to open up the skies to him. However I'm not sure what eyepiece to use for a small child.
Last christmas he had a look through my little megrez with a hyperion zoom but he couldn't see much and ending up breathing onto it.
I imagine for a small child (he is 3 1/2 and very interested!) I would want something simply without requiring moving around ones head too much.
Has anyone had experience with small children and telescopes?

Cheers
Shaun
