Ideas to help children start coding!?

Hello to everyone out there, I hope where ever you are, that you are well and pumped up for the week ahead!

My eldest would like to start his interest in coding, nothing major as he uses scratch alongside mindcraft which has a game/programme to help him understand how instructions work etc.

He's 9 years old, I also have a daughter who is 6 and my youngest is 3, who won't be interested at all as yet, unless he can break it, maybe introduce him to visual studio haha

I would like to find out what other people have done or thought to do, this isn't aimed at other parents only, anyones insight into this would be great and very helpful!

He's seen Sonny's passion in some of the videos he's watched recently, and loved it, so I thought, just like when he picked up a ball and played football (soccer), he came from nothing and now loves the sport and is captain for his local team after a 2 years. If that can happen here, it would be fantastic to see him grow!

Thank you guys in advance!

happy coding everyone!
