Scratch programming is great fun.
If you want to move onto hardware programming you can look at the BBC Micro:bit which uses Microsoft Make Code (very similar to Scratch), or Python.
You don't even need to buy a Micro:bit to start programming, because they emulate a board on the website. https://microbit.org/ https://microbit.org/

I bought this kit which has a nice breakout board and some sensors mounted on PCBs, with colour coded wires. https://shop.sb-components.co.uk/collections/micro-bit-kits/products/micro-bit-tinker-kit https://shop.sb-components.co.uk/collections/micro-bit-kits/...
Obviously most of that kit can be done far cheaper from places like Aliexpress.
