Learn what anchors are and how they help keep ships steady in the water. Perfect for kids aged 6!
Imagine you are at the beach with a toy boat. When you want your boat to stay in one spot and not drift away, you might use a heavy toy or a rock to hold it down. That’s similar to what an anchor does for a real ship!
An anchor is a big, heavy piece of metal that a ship drops into the water. When the anchor hits the bottom of the sea, it grabs onto the ground like how your toy would grab onto the sand. This helps the ship stay in one place and not float away, even if the water moves around. So, it’s like a big helper that keeps the ship safe and steady!
