Features of ScratchJr

Block-based coding

Simple visual coding uses color-coded blocks children snap together to create animations and interactions. The interface encourages experimentation with sequencing, loops, and events without typing.

Creative characters and scenes

Users can design characters, set backgrounds, and arrange props to build stories. Tools include painting, stickers, and scene transitions to support narrative play and project customization.

Sound recording and interaction

Built-in recording and sound blocks let children add voices and effects, making projects interactive. Playback and basic control blocks help teach cause-and-effect and timing.
