Scratch appeals to a younger lot (6-9yrs) as the built-in sprites are more concrete. Etoys morphs are more attuned to older kids (9+) that are transitioning from concrete to abstract ideas. I wish we had a smooth transition in terms of visual themes and controls for Tuxpaint (3-6) -> Scratch (6-9) -> Etoys (9+) Just my take ..
