Teaching kids to programing Structure

So for a short while now I have been on a mission to get my 8 year old more into the deeper end of things computer related. We have played around with Morse Code and Cryptography cool stuff at
www.nsa.gov/kids/home.shtml
we have the C-Jump programing board game
http://c-jump.com/
but by far the coolest thing we have found that is nice and free is
http://scratch.mit.edu/
Its simple block programing but its really great much better than the Turtel Graphics of our day
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_graphics

So my advice to all of you parents out there is to at least expose your kids to the MIT scratch site ( http://scratch.mit.edu/ ) have them follow the easy to follow tutorials
in hopes that the take up interest in a skill that certainly will serve them well in years to come.

Also keep an eye out for this product

A little expensive but should be loads of fun.
