Thanks a lot Hero999 - really helpful. Is the connectivity between separate modules/components relatively straightforward or is it quite fiddly?

Hi there, I want to get my 4 year old daughter into the idea of "inventing things" (far too few female engineers around!) and so asked her what problem she would like to solve or what she thought would be a good invention. She said a 'talking mirror'. Thinking about this, I thought it might be a fun thing to try to make with her. However, I am totally new to the world of electronics and would really appreciate others thoughts about how best to go about this. I thought a movement sensor to detect when someone was in front of the mirror somehow connected to something that can be set to automatically say a few phrases when someone was there. For example, she has a Brio train set station where you can record something by pressing one button and then it gets played back when you press another one - so I'm guessing something like that might work. Does anyone have any ideas where to start? Any help would be gratefully received! Best, John (& Ella)
