Cheap macro camera for children?

Hi, my autistic nephew is obsessed with bugs (beetles, specifically).  However, this means he spends most days bringing them home to the family, where they either don't live very long or else have to be released - both of which cause great sadness!

I was thinking that macro photography might be a really cool alternative, because you can see all sorts of crazy details that you can't by the naked eye, and you don't have to bring them home for a cuddle..

Does such a thing exist - a cheap camera capable of macro?  He's only 10 but quite technically proficient and good at learning techie/mechanical/computer things by taking them apart and putting them back together (mostly).
