Hi,
The only Forth I've tried was Easy Forth and liked very much. There's a
ESP8266 that's been waiting for me for a long time already. I don't
have any electronics background, so I've yet to learn how to interpret
schematics and connect peripherals to the boards, breadboards and the
like, in order to make something useful.
Having said this, I'm writing to this newsgroup because I recall that
once I've read (but can't find) that there was a Forth project meant for
kids to learn how to program. I'd like to know about that to (maybe)
start exploring Forth as my heart desires to teach it to my kid. Either
this or we have to go with Scratch.

Here's the link to my post about creating a Forth clone (5GL, Fifth Generation Graph Language) for web browser programming:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.forth/J1n6yafogPA
It should be more relevant to youngsters -- high level stuff, can be done on mobile phones.
In fact, the example site 5gl.pagekite.me is hosted on a mobile phone using pagekite protocol.
In the pipeline: 3D graphics programming using 5GL.
