I would suggest a local pond that is full of sunfish and other panfish which will keep you busy.
Well I agree support local but there is no more local. unfortunately the big box stores have taken over and they really have no knowledgeable help there.
Don't break the bank go basic if she likes it expand from there
Best advice you can get! I started taking my kids when they where around 3. I picked up a few zebco push button combo's at walmart for around $15. as dave said, very small hooks, worms and bobbers. Tie a bright orange big Styrofoam bobber to the line and have her practice casting in the back yard first. she will have a ton of fun doing it, and you'll be shocked at how fast she will pick it up.
