While I've done a bit of Scratch with the 5yo on my lap providing creative input, at this age I mostly prefer screen-free activities that teach programming/computing concepts.

A few things we've done are Exploding Dots Machines [0] and stories about functions and boolean logic. [1] Peter Rowlett tweeted about a little sorting algorithm activity he did with his 6yo, which I've been meaning to try. [2]

Another idea I want to do sometime is a "Robot Mommy" game where the kids give me instructions and I interpret them super-literally (kind of like those "how to make a PBJ" games). I can see this one going in a lot of different directions, but I'm thinking to start by being a human Logo turtle and let them control my steps and turns.

I'm always on the look-out for more of this kind of thing, if anyone has any suggestions or recommendation!
