Digestion

Digestion is like playing with your toy food set.

First, your teeth and tongue break down your food like smashing your toy food with your hands.

Then, your stomach takes the smashed toy food and mixes it with acid and special juices that help turn it into a yummy soup.

Next, the soup-like mixture goes through your intestines. Your intestines are like a long, twisty slide that helps get all the good stuff out of the food and into your body.

Finally, whatever your body can't use goes out of your body as poop.

Just like how you play with your food set, your body plays with your real food to make sure you get all the good stuff you need to grow big and strong!
