When little Kevin was engorging the slug he was using his father's 
wand. I believe his mother reprimanded him for "taking daddy's wand 
again", or something to that effect. However that shows that the 
child would still need a wand to focus his/her magic through. 
Obviously there is some sort of manifestation of the child's 
abilities through wandless magic, such as Harry suddenly finding 
himself on top of the school roof, but what age would this possibly 
appear? I mean a three year old having a full blown tantrum with 
wandless magic thrown in boggles the mind.
