ABSTRACT
Making pictures come to life fascinates children of all ages. Using LOGO MicroWorlds software enables a fertile synthesis to forge cross-curricular learning and produce creative maths or technological art. As well as the commands available in all LOGO programs, MicroWorlds software contains tools to enable children to paint backgrounds to create their own environment (or environments, as a project can have several pages) and a variety of turtle shapes that can be edited. As a creative activity children will need time to develop their own ideas. If their experimentation has been saved during these first four activities, then they can draw on procedures and designs as they build their projects either alongside the activities or once they have been completed.
