I built a wood duckling for my daughters, currently 4 and 6. It’s fantastic, and is good up to 7 stone. As they are tiny, it will probably do into teens.
There are some pics here

It’s safe and stable enough, with a cockpit they can leap out of. It’s a proper kayak, tracks so they can learn to control it, but still manoeuvrable enough to get around a duckpond.
Thank you for the replys and the information, a couple of great looking boats there, much appreciated,
cheers Locky..
