Here are four playful ways to say it for a 6-year-old:
- A starfish's arms are covered with hundreds of teeny tube feet — like lots of tiny toes — that help it wiggle and walk around the sea.
- Each arm has hundreds of tiny tube feet, like little sticky socks, so the starfish can creep along rocks and sand.
- Imagine each arm wearing hundreds of tiny toes — those tube feet let the starfish toddle across the ocean floor.
- Under every arm are hundreds of tiny tube feet, like a bunch of tiny feet, helping the starfish stroll and hold onto things.
