What are fillers?

Fillers are like extra pieces that help make something complete, just like how a puzzle needs all its pieces to look right.

Imagine you're building a tower with blocks. You have some big blocks and some small ones. If you only used the big blocks, your tower might be lopsided or wobbly. But if you add in smaller blocks, called fillers, they fit into the gaps between the bigger blocks, making everything stand up straight and strong.

Why We Need Fillers

Think of fillers like the crumbs that go between slices of bread when you're making a sandwich. Without those crumbs, your sandwich might feel empty or uneven. The crumbs are like the fillers, helping to make the whole thing more full and tasty.

Fillers can be anything, from little bits of clay in pottery to tiny rocks in cement. They help support and connect other parts so everything works better together. Just like how your tower stays up because of those small blocks, fillers help hold things together in a fun, everyday way!
