Here are 5 playful ways to say it for a 6-year-old:
- Woodpeckers are tree doctors — they tap-tap the bark to find and gobble up the itchy bugs!
- The beaky bug-hunters go peck-peck and pull out tiny bug snacks hiding under the tree’s coat.
- Woodpeckers are the tree’s cleaning crew: they knock-knock and chase away the pesky bugs.
- Mr. Woodpecker drums on the tree like a tiny drummer and nibbles the bugs that live under the bark.
- With a peck and a peck, the bird scratches the tree’s itch and munches all the little bugs.
