Scratch - A Game Programming Language For Children
tinjaw:
I'm at work and will try to write more, unless somebody else want to fill in more of the details.
from http://scratch.mit.edu/about
Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.
Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the process of design.

Scratch - A Game Programming Language For Children
Here is a little animation I made: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/cthorpe/3646
You have to have Java ( :( ) installed to see the animations online :(. There doesn't seem to be a way to save the animation/game/whatever into another format on your local machine or upload it anywhere but the scratch page. It would be really cool if it could create flash swfs.
