I've been trying to teach my 5 year old with a custom language/app I built a while ago:
http://modelian.com/ http://modelian.com/
Basically, it's a programming language to make very basic 2d physics simulations.
It's actually gone really well, she loves changing the size and colors of the shapes. She's learned how to type (keys, capitals, arrows, backspace, etc...) and how to manipulate a lot of things.
I wouldn't say she is really "programming" yet; it's more of "I know this number changes the size of the block and this other thing changes the color". Anyways it's a great start and we have a lot of fun on it together.
(Note I built this a a while ago on Parse which has since shutdown so the saving/account functionality doesn't work any more. You need to copy your scripts to a text file to save.)
