actually I was going to suggest Scratch as the sensible alternative! Or Logo or Smalltalk but is drawing shapes with Canvas or SVG really more difficult than blinking an LED with Python ?
I must be missing something. Why would a kid get excited about making a 5x5 array of LEDs to blink when they can easily program a ~2000x1000 array of lights (their laptop/phone/tablet screen) using their browser ?
