Teaching kids to code is a big focus these days, but the logic behind making computer programs work can be taught before you ever set a kid in front of a computer.
This algorithm-based activity from J Daniel 4’s Mom takes kids through the steps of building a creature, starting with the head, then adding the body and so on.
The instructions are written like a computer program would be, so you can explain that they need to be done in order so that the full creature can be drawn. This will help them understand a basic concept of coding while having fun, which is the best way to learn!
