The Indus Valley Civilization was one of the oldest cities built by people long ago, like a giant puzzle made by tiny humans!
Imagine you have a toy city with lots of houses, roads, and even a place for washing your hands. That's what the Indus Valley Civilization looked like, but instead of toys, they used bricks and stones.
They lived in big cities, like people living in a huge neighborhood full of blocks. They had things like drains under their streets, just like how you have pipes behind your kitchen sink to carry water away. That means they were very smart with water!
They also traded stuff with other faraway places, kind of like when you exchange stickers with your friends at school.
People in the Indus Valley Civilization used symbols on little pieces of clay, like how we write notes today. But no one knows what those symbols really mean yet, it’s a mystery waiting to be solved!
