[http://www.blogger.com/profile/03384288304778972289 Tony Forster] and [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Mokurai Mokurai] have created a number of [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/TurtleArt/Tutorials Turtle Art Tutorials] on a wide range of math, programming, art, and Computer Science topics. There is also a substantial literature of educational materials using the Logo programming language, from which Turtle Art and Turtle Blocks derive. The Exploring with Logo series from MIT Press is particularly recommended for showing how far beyond simple graphics Logo can go. Mokurai recommends starting with his first three, specifically designed for helping beginners of all ages, starting with the preliterate in preschool.
