eToys, Scratch, and Alice, are member of a saga and share the same  
heritage: Squeak.

However, even Scratch or Alice are Squeak versions limited to some  
functions (3D in Alice, children or easy programming in Scratch) eToys  
preserves most of the author tools of Squeak.

In my opinion eToys is a no-risk version of Squeak, You have almost  
the full power abilities of Squeak without it inherent risks.
