A Sprite is an object in Scratch that performs functions controlled by scripts (these are the characters and objects in your projects)

So, when you first open up the “Create” tab in Scratch, you’ll see the Scratch cat on your stage automatically. This is the default sprite. There are tons of sprites to choose from in Scratch, and you can even make your own! You can easily delete the cat (press the garbage can with an x next to his picture on the bottom of the screen).

To choose a new sprite, simply press the cat face with a “+” on it. It’s located near the bottom left corner. This will take you to all of the sprites Scratch has to offer!
