In my experience, the classic button is always gray, always rectangular with rounded corners, and always has the same size and style of font.

BUT, the great fun is that you can make a turtle act like a button. Hatch a turtle and put it where you want the button to be. Open its backpack and put the instructions that you would've put into a button into the "on click" area. I usually at that point, have my students test their button to see that the turtle is doing the same thing. Then, once they see the similarities in function, I tell them to make the turtle's costume be whatever their heart's desire is for the button. They can make their own, they can use text or graphics (click on the picture of a home instead of the word home), they can import graphics from button-making websites, they can design their own in a paint program and import them, the sky's the limit.

Have fun!

Hello everyone,

I am once more teaching my summer class, one less day and one half hour less each day!Yet some kids who want to learn. I have a question I don't know the anwer for...

Can a button have any other shape?  If yes how?

They want their buttons to look great.

Thanks for any help.
