I think that tangibility and playful feedback are great concepts for making the experience attractive - first superficially (how do you compete with iPad games :)), then deeper as a way to "see" the programming. I've brought in a GUI (Python's turtle [1.]) to help explore programs, computational and mathematical concepts, and to give more feedback and add another dimension. The introductory programming course for the BS in CS I obtained taught Python and programming/cs concepts and used a robot (IPRE Scribbler 2 + Fluke 2 [2.]). Did you create a place to share your different resources?
