My 9 year old girl has expressed an interest in learning to program. Of course I want something that will give her short term rewards, but still teach solid skills. I know this question gets asked from time to time on various forums but I wanted to get some opinions from the good people of SN.

Christmas is coming... she's (for now) a Windows user... is there something you'd recommend as a gift?

Thanks for your ideas.

    in a few weeks, she'll be the best programmer you ever met.

    Honey, what are all these charges from Amazon? Why does our bank balance read zero? Why is my Inbox filling up with receipts from American Girl....
