Wish I could help, but I wouldn't even know how to turn a bread machine on. I make all our breads by hand (In fact, am in the middle of making rosemary potato bread even as we speak).

I second Jafo's motion. There is no better way for a mother/daughter to bond that by making bread. Your daughter, at ten, may not have enough upper body strength or a long enough attention span to knead by hand, however. So a stationary mixer makes sense. I would let her play as long as she wishes, then finish kneading in the machine.

Also, don't forget quick breads, all of which can easily be done with nothing but a mixing spoon.
