Sprites, Backdrops, and the Stage
What is a Sprite?
A sprite is any character or object in your Scratch project — a cat, a ball, a button. Each sprite has its own code, costumes, and sounds.
Adding a Sprite
- Click the cat icon at the bottom of the Sprite List → Choose a Sprite.
- Browse the library and click any sprite to add it.
- To upload your own image, click Upload Sprite.
What is a Backdrop?
A backdrop is the background image of the Stage. Click the Stage thumbnail (bottom right) → Choose a Backdrop to pick one from the library.
