I've been talking to my kid about D&D since literally they day they were born. I started them actually gaming with the old Hero Quest boardgame, which provides a more tactile and visual reference for core concepts.
I moved from there to No Thank You, Evil!, which is designed as a modular game with options for pre-readers. After playing that for a year or so alongside Hero Quest, (and once the kid's writing ability reached the "more or less legible" point, we moved on to Basic Fantasy Roleplaying. After a few months of that, we upgraded to the 1991 D&D Rules Cyclopedia.
The kid is now 7, and we've been playing together more or less weekly for over two years all told. We are looking forward to bringing in more friends/classmates/kids from our condo complex in the upcoming months/years.
