Hi there,
Oh! I see your point,
Well no, turtles are not cloned in that project. There are just  
several turtles with exactly the same shape, at exactly the same  
position. On a PC, you can do this fireworks using a dozen turtles if  
you want. It's rather fast.
The button invokes one procedure that:

make a sound
sends a color signal (red)
sends a color signal (yellow)
wait a bit
make a sound
sends a color signal (red)
sends a color signal (green)
wait a bit
make a sound
sends a color signal (red)
sends a color signal (blue)


Create ONE turtle, program it to react to mouse clicks as follows:
st
rt random 360
fd random 50

Program the same turtle to react to ColorSignal (red) as follows:
clickon

react to ColorSignal (red) as follows:
ht
home
rt 60
fd 150

react to ColorSignal (green) as follows:
ht
home
rt some different angle
fd some different amount


react to ColorSignal (blue) as follows:
ht
home
rt some different angle
fd some different amount


That's not a simple project and there are other ways of achieving the  
same result. The main idea is to have several turtles, hiding and  
showing at the right time.
If you do that with kids, I suggest you make "simpler things" with  
signal until they understand what it does. Same for clickon, which  
simulates a mouse click.
Good luck,
