                       create in Scratch. The options are File, Edit, Tutorials and name of the Scratch
                       project.
                        Stage Area: It is similar to a stage in a play where everything takes place. You can
                       watch stories, play games and run your scratch projects on the stage. It shows the
                       result of the Scratch program.

                       location, increase and decrease the size of a Sprite and a backdrop. You can also

                       create new Sprites and backdrops in Scratch.
