+1 for Invent With Python. I've got my 8 year old daughter doing it and she loves it. It's the closest thing that I've found to what first started me programming, David Ahl's Basic Computer Games. I've also done Scratch with her, which she enjoys because it's so quick to get multimedia integration, but I found she wasn't keeping hold of fundamentals, like how loop controls work. Moving to Invent With Python has done the trick, it seems that typing the code has made the logic stick.
