What teachers said on TPT
Rated 5.0 out of 5 by 37 teachers on Teachers Pay Teachers.
“My students enjoyed this coding activity. They love to make and create. This was the perfect lesson for them. This lesson was cute, bright, and colorful. It incorporates all the computer science standards and more. I love that it teaches students how to resize, layer, copy, paste, and duplicate. My first and second graders loved it. I would highly recommend this lesson.”
