There are plenty of tutorials out there. Use CR2032 for longer run times. Honestly though these are aimed at young kids, all you can really do is make the LED turn on, it's not very exciting after the first few minutes.
Have a look at Velleman kits. The MK150 Shaking Dice or MK112 Brain Game MiniKit would give him something to do and you can both use them once finished.
If he's interested in learning basic electronics you could go for a kit like this or this They normally start out with a basic LED and battery and end up with tone generators and flashy lights. If you buy a extra breadboard you can both make projects at the same time.
You could also get an Arduino starter kit. They are really cool, the projects also start at flashing led but end up with much more interesting and complicated projects like ultrasonic distance measurement, moving parts and robots. Just be aware it's not as social and you'll lose him into the computer and programming for hours at a time.
Make: Electronics is a very good book. You can buy a series of kits to complete the projects in the book. There is also a sequel (Make: More Electronics) and a series of encycliopedias from Make about electronic components.
I would take a look at Make: Electronics 2nd Ed by Charles Platt (/r/MakeElectronics/) has been one of the best books for beginners in electronics in recent years and they make a electronics component pack that has all of the parts ready to go for the experiments. It starts out with the very basics, and It seems like the first chapter would be mostly review for you, but it is a hands on learning style that teaches practical electronics for beginners and progresses on to coding microcontrollers using a Arduino Uno.
f e Amazon #1 best selling beginner electronics book, which I can vouch for if your looking to start out at the very beginning with the basics and work your way up to microcontrollers and automation using Arduinos
To make your life easier, here is the kit.
