The violin bow is like a special stick that we use to play the violin. Imagine a long, straight pencil. That’s the stick part of the bow!
Now, think about a ribbon or a string that goes from one end of the stick to the other. This ribbon is made from tiny, fuzzy hairs. When you move the bow across the violin strings, it makes beautiful music! So, the bow is a stick with a ribbon of fuzzy hairs that helps us play the violin.
