I would definitely recommend the Basic Stamp -- I got their StampWorks
package; it's pricey, but after running through several of the experiments,

I can't say I have experience with any others, though.  This one looked

For doing more serious embedded stuff than "playing around", possibly:

Hope you have some fun, however you do it -- let us know.
