Learn all about blankets, why we use them, and how they keep us warm during cold nights. Perfect simple explanation for 10-year-old kids.
A blanket is a big piece of soft cloth that people use to cover themselves, especially when they are sleeping.
We use blankets to keep warm. When it is cold, our body loses heat to the air around us. The blanket traps some of that heat so it doesn’t escape, helping us stay cozy and warm.
Blankets work by acting like a warm shield. They are made from materials like wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers that have tiny air pockets. These tiny pockets trap warm air from your body and stop the cold air from reaching you.
Did you know that in very cold places, people use thick blankets called "comforters" or sometimes even electric blankets that can warm up by themselves when plugged into electricity?
Blankets are important because they keep us warm by trapping heat close to our bodies. They come in many different materials and sizes, and everyone uses them to feel snug and comfortable while they sleep.
