For a change, I am going to bundle these simple things together.

Code Club

https://codeclubprojects.org/en-GB/

Here you can teach your kids a number of new things:

HTML and CSS
Python
Raspberry Pi (a micro computer that can be used for many purposes)
Scratch

“Classes” are divided by projects, I recommend looking around for something that you think is cool.

Micro:Bit

The iOS app looks like scract and does not require hardware.

Scratch

Create stories, games, and animations

The interface is drag and drop and you begin to learn the basics, from variables to functions and beyond.

Thonny

https://thonny.org/

Easy to get started. Thonny comes with a quick install to get you playing around with the Python programming language quickly.
