I think that (from the child's perspective, at least) there is something to "keep it simple." One friend of mine has ran across a twister someplace who could do amazing things. What did her 5 year old son ask for? A sword! But, then, when the twister made a fancy sword, the boy was a bit upset. "Mommy, THIS isn't a sword!" The real magic is in the child's imagination, not the technical aptitude of the twister (beyond having solid fundamentals, of course.) Sometimes, children (and even parents) just aren't far enough along to appreciate the artistry of something more advanced yet.
