Dowel

Hi there! Okay, so a dowel is like a little stick that's usually made out of wood. It's kind of like a long, skinny rod that you can use for a lot of different things.

Have you ever played with building blocks or Legos? Sometimes when you build something with them, you might use a little stick or peg to connect two pieces together. Well, that's basically what a dowel is for!

But dowels can also be used in other ways. For example, if you wanted to hang a picture frame on the wall, you could put a dowel through the frame and use that to hang it up.

Dowels are also sometimes used in woodworking. If you're building a piece of furniture, you might use dowels to help hold different parts of the furniture together.

So basically, a dowel is just a little stick that can be used for lots of different things, like connecting things together or holding things in place. Does that make sense?
