Turtle Art (AKA Turtle Blocks) is another LOGO-derived educational language with aims similar to Scratch. Turtle Art is free software and its block language seems more powerful and orthogonal. It can be extended with inline Python expressions or by loading Python scripts. I think it's a great way to introduce young children to the basic concepts of programming with a smooth transition to a mainstream language. While Turtle Art is bundled with the OLPC-derived Sugar learning environment, it also works on a regular Linux desktop.
