What is You're all stretched out?

You're all stretched out like pieces of playdough that got pulled really far apart.

Stretching is when something gets longer and thinner because you pull it from both ends. Imagine you have a piece of playdough, and you grab each end with your hands. If you pull them away from each other, the playdough becomes longer and flatter, that’s stretching!

Think about a rubber band. When it's not being used, it's short and tight. But when you put it around something, like your wrist or a package, you're pulling it from both sides. The rubber band gets longer, that’s how it gets stretched out.

When things are pulled apart, they change shape. Like if you have a rope and you pull on each end, the rope becomes longer. It's the same with your arms or legs when you stretch during exercise, they get longer and looser, just like playdough or a rubber band!
