                 PEN BLOCK

                 The Pen blocks are green in colour. These blocks draw a trail as the Sprite moves on

                 the stage. You can change the color of the pen. In Scratch 3.0, you have to add Pen
                 blocks to the block category. To do so, follow the given steps:

                 Step 1:   Click on the Add Extension button                  at the bottom left corner of the
                            Code tab. A Choose an Extension window opens.

                 Step 2:   Click on Pen option. The Pen blocks are added to the Code tab.

                 Now let us learn about some of the Pen blocks and what they are used for.

                                block erases everything drawn by the pen.

                        Clicking on          block creates a duplicate of the current Sprite. The image is
                      stamped on the stage. To see the image, click on the Sprite and drag. A duplicate
                      of the Sprite appears behind it.

                               block puts the pen up and stops
                      the Sprite from drawing anything.

                        The Sprite draws a non-stop  line

                      wherever it moves using                .

                        Use                block to set the color
                      of  the  pen  to  a  color of  your  choice
                      from the drop-down menu.
