That is a good question. I've kind of already started my 3 year old daughter on it, but she only has a little robot that she can push arrow buttons to program it to go in different directions. She has fun with it, but she doesn't quite understand that it's moving the way it does because of the buttons she presses.
At the meetups I went to, most of the kids were probably between 8-15. At that age group, most kids understood it. However, the 10+ up group seemed to have really grasped the concept of it, especially when using a drag and drop visual programming language.
I plan on introducing more complex toys and programming to my daughter as she gets older, but I don't expect to show her true computer programming until around 10 and instead stick to the little fun toys.
I started programming around when I was 8 or 9, but I'm not sure I would consider my start normal. I found reading programming books fun at a young age. It took until I was older to realize how boring they actually could be, even if they are extremely beneficial. 😄
