Why not a JISA.

Make sure it's S&S not cash ISA. Pick an S&P 500 index and forget about it.

I'd genuinely show them at this young age, the magic of compound interest. If they don't need the cash, since it appears to have been a windfall, show them what it'll be worth in, say 10 years and 20 years.
