What is really surprising to me is that Smalltalk was originally targeted as an educational language for children:

In this way, it was the older brother of Logo, but with a core object scaffold that was far more influential.

Logo predated Smalltalk, so Smalltalk is more like an evolution on the idea and a younger brother.
EDIT: Looked up the dates. Logo was made in 1967, Smalltalk started development in 1969.
I should have checked that.
I remember that Logo was available for my TI-99/4a and assumed it was closer to the '80s.
