Isn't learning basic math and programming a good start for developing logical thinking? There are programming languages like Scratch[1] intended for teaching programming to very young kids. I never try it, but maybe it is a good start for developing logical thinking in young age.

I do teach Scratch, it allows for more creativity than other platforms. However, there are still some very abstract concepts that kids do not really get till they reach the 4th and 5th grades. 1st graders really struggled with it in my experience. If you have a parent with programming experience it is usually not an issue.
