Baby coding ideas

I need ideas for coding challenges/ projects/ problem sets or where to find some. I downloaded Scratch Jr for my preschooler the other day and now he's got the hang of it I'm not sure what to kinds of things to ask him to try. The only thing I came up with were either to easy or to complex. Help?

Hi, againGrin, you can explore scratch even more with these books.

And there's codeorg

And if he prefers writing the code himself (maybe when he is a bit older?), he can try khanacademy.

Thank you! Those books look like they'll be too hard but I'll definitely check them out 😊

The main problem with resources for pre-schoolers is not being able to read. Have you tried Lightbot? lightbot.com

Op's ds is an advanced reader. I think once he get the hang of it, he will definitely enjoy coding!

Oh, in that case, if you've got a relatively recent i-device, try Swift Playgrounds, the Apple coding tutorials.
