I am sure there are good options on this list, but I might also suggest AmScope. Not the most perfect of microscopes, but certainly reasonable and good enough for basic microscopy for kids. Make sure to chose an infinity corrected optic (i.e. go for a $200 one instead of the $30).
They have staining kits too. Also the MSA website has a great resource on kids microscopy books: http://www.microscopy.org/education/projectmicro/searchBooks.cfm They have a booth as M&M, I really enjoyed looking at them all. I took photos of the ones I was interested in purchasing, I am happy to share these with you also.
