Last year, I was sorely disappointed when I learned that Kids Programming Language retired. On its web page they recommended Phrogram instead but Phrogram is not a free program. Granted, it is a small investment to get the kids to learn a very useful skill, still. Times are tough.

Then I came across Scratch. It works on Mac and PC and even has an online community to share the kids creations. Mostly games. Some of the games are pretty fun too. Heck, I just whiled away some time there when I should be blogging.

Another programming software for kids I came across is SiMPLE.
