Looks nice! Will try it with my kids later :)

If you’re interested in teaching kids Python, also take a look at Hedy. It’s a gradual language that exposed more programming paradigms with each level. It’s used a lot in classroom settings.

Full disclosure: I’ve contributed a couple of commits.

She gave a wonderful talk at Splash 2023 on Hedy, I'll see if I can find it. *edit, I don't think it was recorded but I found these two which will do

Looks nice on a quick try.

I posted it here for HNers to comment on, if they wish:

Very nice! I'll have a look. Thank you.

As a French, language is an additional barrier and I implemented some facilities in PyKidos to allow for translations of built-in global variables and functions (color names etc). But the Python keywords are still in English. Happy to see that Hedy supports full localization.
