Supporting children invent to learn. . .
Books such as Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom

Websites such as MakeZine’s Make: Kids & Family also provide numerous starting points for projects.
Take a look at some of the Materials for Maker Spaces at school and at home and get started with supporting the tinkering of little ones! It is never to early to start imagining and inventing!
