Okay little one, have you ever worn an apron while helping your mom or dad in the kitchen? Yes? Then you already know a little bit about what an apron is!
An apron is simply a piece of cloth that you wear over your clothes to protect them from getting dirty or stained, kind of like a shield. It's usually tied around your waist, and sometimes has a neck strap to keep it in place.
But aprons aren't just for cooking! People wear them in lots of other jobs too, like when they're painting, cleaning, or doing other messy activities. Some people even wear aprons as part of their uniform, like chefs or baristas.
So basically, an apron is a protective piece of clothing that you wear over your regular clothes to keep them clean and tidy. It's like a superhero cape for messy activities!
