My kid (10yo) started programming in Scratch 2 years ago. He have been doing stuff in Scratch, dabbling a bit with the Microbit and doing some mods for Minecraft. A while on pico8, but he doesn't enjoy it.
I'd suggest start with something really small for programming. Like most of Scratch basic challenges. Also, for modeling, checking the 2 or 3 basic MCreator videos plus Blockbench tutorials is enough to start creating mods in Minecraft, something simple as adding a new mineral is a groundbreaking moment.

- adamredwoods 3y ago+1 Scratch! My son started with it, then expanded into Roblox/Lua. Children can download other people's games and experiment there. Scratch also has pre-made art, sounds, music. https://scratch.mit.edu/ https://scratch.mit.edu/
