Hi Dave --
Six is pretty young -- not so much intellectually, but in terms of "what seems neat". Some six year olds love "camoflage games" (like a painted animal in an environment where it can't be seen until it moves) and visual illusions (like a dynamic version of the Mach contrast illusion, etc). Many of these have been done in Squeak. Take a look at an illusion book and see if she likes them. If so, I can suggest how to do dynamic versions in Squeak.
Cheers,
Alan

I'd like to introduce Squeak to my six-year-old. She reads very well and enjoys mathematics games. We tried the "drive the car" activity, but the allure of controlling the car wasn't there; it was just as much fun to just use the paint tool. Could anyone suggest another activity we might try? Is six too young to Squeak? Thanks.
