[Paddlewise] kids' kayak -- really

I have a serious question about kids kayaks -- not inflatable toys.  

I am planning to start paddling with my kids this spring.  I've put them in
my own kayaks and while they love it, they can't really do very much with
them.  I could also get double kayaks, but (no offense to you doublers) I've
never been able to enjoy double kayaks.  Part of the fun of kayaking is the
connection between the paddler, the boat, and the water, and you just can't
get that in a double.

So, I'm looking at buying two small kayaks for my boys -- and I do mean
small.  My yougest is 6 while my older boy is 8.   Do any of you know of
anywhere a person can go to buy a real kayak scaled down to fit small
children?  I am all thumbs in the shop, but i'd even build a couple if I
could find a kit for slimed down, children's boats.

There have to be other parents on this list who have already dealt with this
problem.  What did you do?
