I'll say the same idea six different ways in easy words (cells = tiny parts):

  1. Blood is red because it has lots of little red bits inside.
  2. Lots of tiny red pieces in blood make it look red.
  3. Blood looks red since most of the tiny parts in it are red.
  4. Most of the things in blood are red, so the blood is red.
  5. The reason blood is red is that many of its parts are red.
  6. Blood appears red because it’s full of little red cells (tiny parts).

Do you want me to draw a quick picture to show the little red bits?
