Not just for 8 plus. My 6 year old did great with it. We used along with PBS Wild Kratts challenge. For my Girl Scout Brownie troop we used it for intro to coding badge!

It's pretty like scratch but u can't make games well I like scratch but scratch jr won't because there four frames more frames on scratch jr can be hacking and it's a bad idea so try not to hack this at home
