                 The Backdrops library will open. The library contains different categories such as "Outdoors,"
                 "Indoors,"  "Space,"  "Underwater,"  and  more.  You  can  scroll  through  or  search  for  a  specific
                 backdrop using the search bar at the top.

                 Step 3:  Click on any backdrop that you like.

                 The selected backdrop will immediately appear on the stage behind your sprites.
                    WHAT ARE BLOCKS?

                 In Scratch, blocks are the basic tools you use to make your programs. They give instructions to
                 sprites and backdrops. Each block is colourful and shaped like a puzzle piece, so you can fit them
                 together easily. When you join the blocks, they form scripts that tell your sprites what to do.

                 Types of Blocks

                 There are 9 categories of blocks in Scratch. Each category has a number of blocks. Each block has
                 a different function.
                 Motion Blocks

                 Motion blocks are blue and are used to control how sprites move on the Stage. These blocks
                 let you move sprites in different directions, rotate them, and set their position using the x and y
                 coordinates of the Stage.
