The little'un is going to be doing some basic programming in a language called LOGO
A - has anybody heard of this language
B - are there any child friendly resources available that anyone might have come across
A - yes, it's famous in the computing world as the first (well-known) language for children to learn to program in. Lucky little'un!
B - we haven't used it yet, so no personal experience, but have a look at the Wikipedia page for LOGO:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)
and then at the page for Etoys, which is essentially a LOGO implementation IIUC:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etoys_(programming_language)
(it may perhaps be what little'un is actually using?)
and follow some of the links at the bottom, e.g. to the Etoys official home page:
