What are the options to get kids (7-10) using Squeak? I have see eToys, Scratch, Alice. Are there others?
Any recommendations on which to choose? I want something that they can start with easily, but that will grow with them at least for a while.
Thanks.

Thanks Stef. We are already using BotsInc and liked it a lot!
I am looking to move towards building things with richer models and hoping (ideally :-) it can be done with a kid-friendly toolkit with less syntax-level typing & debugging.

I see that you've looked at eToys. Have you seen the book "Powerful Ideas in the Classroom"? You should definitely take a gander at it. It has a great base for easy script building, especially for graphical objects.
