One of my fondest memories was buying the book "The Elements of Computing Systems" by Nisan and Schocken, and implementing a 4-bit CPU in Minecraft.

4-bit is small enough that you can build it manually, without the use of external tools (which I don't think existed at the time anyways).

Highly recommended for children interesting in computing!
