It is an activity with a Logo-inspired graphical “turtle” that draws colorful art based on snap-together visual programming elements.

The user-documentation of Turtle Blocks resides at https://help.sugarlabs.org/turtleart.html

As the pages are moved; they’ll be listed at https://help.sugarlabs.org/turtleart_tutorials/tutorial_index.html
