ScratchJr
ScratchJr builds simple interactive stories and games using graphical programming blocks.
Consider for caregiver-guided first coding projects
Characters can move, jump and make sounds without a text-language editor.
Keep in mind: Age5-7 and literacy/problem-solving benefits are publisher targets, not an individual developmental assessment; it is distinct from the older-user Scratch language and not a general production app builder.
