I think your missing a lot of the fun by not planning it together with your son. Do it like a farmer would- take a look at what you want to 'store', how big it is, what size doors you need, 'shop space', etc. Then look at efficient use of materials.
I think you'll find that an actual 'scale' shed will be too big for practical purposes, so some compromises will have to be made- another teaching moment.
You don't mention how old your son is. If he's younger, then he can't be as involved in the woodworking, and a smaller shed would be best but, on the plus side, he can 'grow' into it and there could be another opportunity to 'expand' later. If he's older, then it's never too early to learn some carpentry skills.
Don't get too wrapped up in realism- your son's imagination will fill in a lot of gaps. I remember when I was a kid and a friend's dad built him a box out of particleboard with holes in one side and one end- boy I thought that was the greatest! Keep it simple and have fun!
