Please reccomend best kids development environment
My 6 yr old spent hours yesterday starting to compose the storyline and interface for his first digital game. He's using Paper App on iPad to sketch it out. I am amazed at level of sophistication he is showing having designed a lit of interfaces for apps.
Any of you have recommendations for development platforms for kids that will teach him fundamentals, while still letting him create something to be proud of? I want him to be able to see results, while still challenging him to learn. Thanks for any help you can provide. I have a tiger by the tail.

My first recommendation would be http://scratch.mit.edu/
There are a number of commercial projects, including http://www.stencyl.com/ , http://www.scirra.com/ , and http://www.yoyogames.com/ that are a bit more sophisticated, but Scratch is great for kids.
Thank you! I'll take a look at all of those suggestions.
