Suggestion: Don't give her a computer. The best form of education for any child or adult does NOT directly involve computers. She will have computers pushed upon her soon enough, no need to rush it.
I second that. My 3-year-old son built a computer for himself by drawing a keyboard on a donut box with crayons. He's 'worked' on his computer many times since then. He's provided detailed explanations from him about what the various buttons do.
If you must, to keep her off your keys, just give her an old keyboard. Let her imagination provide the rest of the computer.
Another good idea. Keyboards are easy to get at goodwill if you don't already have a spare. Plugging the cord into a cardboard box helps get things rolling.
