However, it also sucks that a lot of other companies tend to price-out newcomers.

Beyond a toy like that, there's also standalone music making gear that might be for fun for kids (and adults) to play with and probably won't hurt your wallet that much, specifically the Pocket Operator line of synthesizers. Source: about 1 year ago
