I'm no expert, but I gave my 4 year old nephew a set of GeoMag, and he was copying stuff from the manual (he can't read yet, but I can see the pictures), and doing a reasonably good job of it.

I was programming at 9, and using animation tools around the same age (very simple stuff). Kids are really good at specialising, so if they find 3d modelling interesting, they'll learn it, especially with such a simple tool like 3Dtin.

I think we shouldn't underestimate what each successive generation is capable of doing, riding on the wave of the previous generation.
