does anyone know of a visual programming tool that could be adapted for children (kids age 7-12) so that they can generate c programs to control device?
Syntax of C Programming is quite similar to that of C++, Java, and many higher-level languages. Learning C Programming makes the higher-level language easy for kids. C Programming is one of the few programming languages which support many low-level computers.

If controlling devices is your ultimate goal, how about LEGO Mindstorms? You can use all sorts of languages with it and they get to play with LEGO! They can start with the default language and once they understand the fundamentals they can start using some of the third-party languages, some of which are C/C-like
Another interesting language for kids is scratch, from MIT. I don't know if it's possible to use it to control devices
