How do you explain 'What is a magnet' to a 3.5 yrs old kid?
I tried explaining. He asked me 'is adhesive gum & magnet are same?'.
I took him out to shopping for magnets to practically show & explain the magnet and the difference between a magnet & adhesive gum. Surprisingly I couldn't get a magnet in any shop. Looks like magnet can be used to detonate a bomb and there is a restriction in selling magnets in shops now-a-days. :(
Another question I couldn't explain was 'why there are no dinosaur in the zoo' (when he saw the statue of dinosaur outside the zoo). How do you explain 'extinct' to a kid? I just told him that becuase of the bad habits all the dinosaurs are dead and there are no dinosaurs anywhere.
