Airgun for 5 year old

My five year old was with me at the shooting range on the weekend and has asked for a gun. She hates loud noises and getting her a real rifle here in Spain is pretty much out of the question for now anyway (actually I need to investigate if she can legally get an airgun, which is a pretty sad state of affairs).

We discussed it and have decided she would like an airgun. Her needs would be only target shooting (in Spain even an airgun can only be legally used at a firing range), so shooting animals is out of the question. Anyway we live in a national park so hunting is double forbidden for her. I may set up some hidden targets for her at home though.

The main problem I have is that she is pretty tiny still and can't really manage the size/weight of a normal airgun. I am looking for a rifle that has good enough quality that it is not limiting her significantly when shooting paper targets, but that is light enough and small enough she can handle it without struggling to much. She will shoot with it supported for now, but I want to her to be comfortable carrying it and lifting it etc, mostly for safety reasons.

Anyway I would appreciate any suggestions. European made guns would be preferable though. Red riders and the like are not available here, as they would be classified weapons not toys
