Wii U is fun for the whole family, so I say go with that. Save the 3DS for a birthday, and probably don't get Dream Team with it for a kid that young. Or maybe just wait another year or two on it. At eight or so they start to get a bit more into understanding the RPG's and such.

Wii U with Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land is my vote. Lego City: Undercover is also a great choice for kids, though it's single-player.
