My kid really took to Scratch last year when he was 6. We got a Raspberry Pi 400 and reading the manual he saw a full chapter on Python. Now when I'm working, he'll come by and say "hey! that's Python!"

Conveniently, the [turtle module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html) comes built-in and he also got to draw some fun patterns after reading the "Secret Coders" comic book series. It's really fascinating to see him develop his mental models.
