Abstract :
We developed a programming environment that promotes logic development in children. Dealing with the real materials in their play environments is important for children using this programming environment. Based on our analysis, we propose a concept model and the user interface for a play environment for children. We confirmed the effectiveness of the programming environment experimentally
