Popit menu and its functions.
The Popit is the most important tool you'll come across in the world of LittleBigPlanet - press the button and it will literally "pop" into the air above the player character's head. Think of the Popit as an interactive lasso that's capable of amazing things: it contains almost all of the creative options at your disposal.
Popit Cursor
The Popit Cursor tool allows you to pick up a shape you have created so you can do a variety of things with it: move, duplicate, delete, resize, or detach (in case it is glued to something).
To use this tool you first need to select Popit Cursor from your Popit Menu (Top left corner).
Hover the popit cursor over an object and select it with ; the object you are about to select will be highlighted so you notice what are you about to select. Once selected, move your object around with the left stick, L1 or L2, and use the right stick to alter its size or rotation. To make a copy press L3 (press the left stick).

Little Big Planet 2 Popit design.
In LBP2, the Popit is different in order, shape, and color. The changed the order of the menu. It also changes throughout the game. The shape is more rounded but still had a rectangular feel to it. The new main color of it is green with blue backsets.
Whenever you are finished with the selected object, press to place it or to cancel. At last press again to exit to the Popit Menu.
Stickers can be accessed in the Popit Menu. Once the sticker has been selected it can be rotated and enlarged(or reduced) in the same fashion as the materials. The player is able to place the stickers on objects in the world and the other players. When a sticker is placed, the suface will react realistically(due to the physics engine). For example, if a sticker was placed on a piece of cloth hanging from another object, the physics engine will make the cloth flap like a towel on a washing line would on a windy day. There is no limit to how many stickers can be placed in the world.
