My kids have been doing LEGO WeDo robots [1]. They're targeted at a younger audience than the Mindstorms. They're kind of expensive, but both my six year old and my three year old love them!
The big reason I originally targeted WeDo was their programming interface didn't require reading, so both of my kids were programming before they could read :)

- craigching 12y agoI forgot to mention that we also have MOSS robots [1]. These are really fun and great for kids, but I have a couple of warnings on them: 1. We have hardwood floors. When one of these robots falls apart, it is a mess. Handling them requires a bit of care too. 2. I've had some trouble with what I think are bad blocks, but I haven't taken the time to troubleshoot them to make sure. What I really like about them, though, is that it teaches programming concepts by clicking blocks together. There is also a C api as well that I am planning on playing with.
