My niece is interested in programming and python looks like a good
choice (she already wrote a couple of lines :)) She is 10 and I
thought it would be good to have a bunch of playful coding problems
for her, stuff that she could code herself maybe after some initial
help.
I think anything that has to do with drawing and colors will be
attractive, animated if possible. It has to look nice.
Take a look at the turtle demos.
Six or eight years ago when my kids were about that age I got them to
play around with pygame, but frankly, I had more success getting them to
read html and identify cut n paste-able fragments to put in their
myspaceface places.
