One of the best analogy to try and talk about programming in a non-technical way is picturing out LEGO

If you look well. LEGO provides you with the tools you need to build something useful or something others (your friends) might like. And what it's being built is under it's own 'Framework' which is the way how LEGO it's constructed this is the framework. You have the tools which are the small lego pieces. And then you put the creativity in your run by building something amazing with these things you've been given. Pretty much how programming works
