Scratch

As noted by the scratch about page:

Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.

As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

I think this is a great little tool for teaching your kids about programming, thinking logically and understanding how to plan and build software in blocks of logic.
