What the question means: When we ask "What is it made of?" we want to know the materials or things used to make something. For example:
- A teddy bear is made of fabric and stuffing.
- A cup might be made of plastic or glass.
- A wooden spoon is made of wood.
Quick steps to find out:
- Look at the object: Does it look like wood, metal, plastic, or cloth?
- Touch it carefully: Is it soft, hard, warm, or cold?
- Ask a grown-up or the person who made it: use one of the questions below.
Five kid-friendly ways to say "What is it made of?":
- What is this made from?
