user20006: I just want to learn arduino and make some small projects.But in beginner starter kit there's a part named Prototyping Shield .Is it necessary or will it help me?

user4143: The prototyping shield can be used to build your own circuits up in a more permanent form which can be plugged direct into the Arduino.
You can think of it as a blank canvass on which you can paint your own shield design.
