Answer:
The best online source I've seen on Isaac Newton's childhood is this website: Isaac Newton's Old School. It's maintained by The King's School, Grantham, which has been around since 1528 and proudly advertises itself as Newton's old school. Let me attempt a brief summary here.
Newton was born on Christmas Day, 1642 (by the Julian Calendar then used in England), in the rural hamlet of Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, near the town of Grantham, in Lincolnshire. His father, an illiterate but relatively prosperous farmer, had been dead for three months. Isaac was a premature baby, so small at birth that, according to his mother, he could've fit into a quart mug. Neighbors were surprised to learn that he had survived.

When little Isaac was three years old, his mother Hannah married the Rev. Barnabas Smith, a widowed clergyman with children of his own. Hannah went to live with the Rev. Smith in North Witham, leaving Isaac to the care of her parents, who don't appear to have been particularly attached to their grandchild. Later, Newton would include in a list of sins written in shorthand in a private notebook: "Threatening my father and mother Smith to burn them and the house over them."
When Isaac was ten, the Rev. Smith died and Hannah returned to Woolsthorpe with three children from her second marriage (Isaac's half siblings). Two years later, Isaac was again separated from his mother when he was sent to grammar school in Grantham. There, Newton lived in the home of the local apothecary, William Clarke. There are some indications that the young Newton had a romantic interest in Clarke's stepdaughter, Catherine Storer. Catherine (later Mrs. Vincent), would remember Newton as a "sober, silent, thinking lad".
All of this suggests a lonely and rather loveless childhood. Newton was initially a poor student at Grantham, but after he became more interested in his schoolwork he rose to the top of the class. Several anecdotes indicate that the young Newton had a hot temper (he later accused himself in his private notebooks of hitting other children) as well as an unusually inquisitive mind. He was very fond of drawing, carving sundials, and building contraptions.

The following are my favorite anecdotes about young Newton's hobbies during his time in grammar school (the quote is from the website indicated at the beginning):
"While Newton was at the school, a windmill was being constructed at the top of Gonerby Hill on the Great North Road. Windmills were locally relatively unusual, where most mills were water mills. Isaac was fascinated by its construction and walked each day after school to observe the progress. He returned to Mr Clarke's house and built a replica of it. He used cloth for the sails and fixed it to the roof of his lodgings. Because its operation was reliant on the wind, Isaac built a wheel so that the sails could be turned by a mouse, which he called his mouse miller. The only problem was that the mouse ate the corn that he was grinding. Newton also made a lantern of 'crumpled paper' to light his way to school on dark winter mornings, which he used to fold up and put in his pocket during the day. He fastened his lantern to a kite and frightened the surrounding neighbours who were worried that it would set fire to their houses. On 3rd September 1658, the day that Oliver Cromwell died, there was a great storm throughout the country. By jumping first with the wind and then against it, and comparing leaps with those on a calm day, he measured 'the vis [i.e. force] of the storm'. He puzzled the other boys by telling them that the storm was a foot stronger than any he had known before. He then showed them the marks of his leaps."
Newton left school at 17 and returned to Woolsthorpe. His mother's intention was to prepare him for the life of a farmer. But Newton had a habit of going to the field to read or to conduct experiments, letting the cattle wander away. One of his uncles, a clergyman educated at Cambridge, finally convinced Hannah that Isaac would make a better scholar than farmer.
At the age of 18, Newton went up to Trinity College, Cambridge. Even though his mother was by then rather well off, Newton was matriculated as a “sub-sizar”, which meant that he had to serve on the College fellows and on wealthier students in order to cover his tuition. The expectation was that at Cambridge Newton would train as a clergyman in the Church of England, like his uncle and his stepfather. Actually, Newton was never ordained and he became one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution.
