parts of a drawing and transform them in objects sounds very interesting. This would make possible to the child to paint an entire scene, and after that decide what is an object and what is background.
It bears mentioning that the "lasso" and the "grab patch" tools (found in the Graphics category of the Objects catalog) allow the user to designate areas on the screen to be "grabbed"; the result of such a grab is the creation of a new "sketch", just as if the area designated had just been painted.
These provide a way that multiple smaller objects can be derived from a single initial painting without having to redo the artwork.
