What is stick?

Stick is a simple tool you can use to poke, push, or draw things.

Imagine you’re playing outside and you find a long, thin piece of wood on the ground, that’s a stick! You can pick it up and use it to poke your friend, push leaves around in the grass, or even draw shapes in the dirt.

How stick works

A stick is just something you hold in your hand. It doesn’t need any special powers, just a little bit of imagination! If you’re drawing with it, you move it across the ground to make lines. If you're poking someone, you tap them gently with it.

Sometimes sticks are straight and smooth, like the ones you find on a beach. Other times, they can be bent or have bumps on them, but that’s just part of their character!

You might even use a stick to help you walk if you’re pretending to be a wizard or a knight. It's like your very own sidekick!
