My 6 year old and I often boot up the old 8-bit machine that I have reserved in a corner of my lab just for this purpose. I have to say - there is no better way to teach a 6-year old to code than to fire up a BASIC-running 8-bit machine from the 80's and let 'em at it. Something so satisfying about hearing him read out his code .. "10 ... do this .. 20 .. do that .." ;)
