There are eight palettes of program elements available for program construction: [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Turtle|Turtle movements]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Pen|Pen attributes]]; Color attributes; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Numbers|Numeric operators]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Sensors|Misc. functions]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Flow|Logical operators]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Blocks|Logical blocks]]; and [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Templates|Presentation blocks]]
+
The palette menus are revealed by clicking on the Block icon on the main toolbar. (On older Sugar systems, select the Projects toolbar. When running Turtle Art from GNOME, the palettes are visible by default.)

As of Version 106 of Turtle Art, there are ten palettes of program elements available for program construction: [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Turtle|Turtle movements]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Pen|Pen attributes]]; Color attributes; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Numbers|Numeric operators]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Flow|Logical operators]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Blocks|Logical blocks]]; Media blocks,  [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Sensors|Sensor blocks]]; Customization functions; and [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Templates|Presentation blocks]]. An eleventh palette is used for restoring blocks from the trash.
    
Blocks are dragged from the palette onto the canvas surface. To dispose of a block, drag it back onto the palette. (It will be placed onto the trash palette.)
