No reason why kids can't do both. My four year old said she wanted to make a game with me because she loves games (and dad's a programmer). So I started a project in Scratch and told her a little about the blocks and we got something moving on the screen in an afternoon. It was magical for her to have an idea and see it come to life, just a little bit, on the screen. Yes, I'm doing 95% of the work and I know most of the programming concepts are lost on her, but even if she's picking up a tiny bit of logic it's worth doing with your kids if they're interested. It still feels like quality bonding time.
