ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Fire pit

A fire pit is like a special place where we can have a fire with our friends and family outside our house. It is like a circle with bricks or stones around it to keep the fire in one place.

To make a fire pit, first, we need to find a safe place outside where there are no trees, bushes or anything that can catch fire easily. Then we dig a hole in the ground to put the bricks or stones in a circle. Once we have placed the stones, we can fill the bottom of the hole with sand or gravel.

We need to make sure we have proper materials to make a fire, like firewood, newspaper, matches or a lighter. We also need to be careful that the fire doesn't get too big and always have an adult nearby to supervise.

When we light the fire, we can enjoy its warmth and the way it looks as the flames dance and flicker. We can also roast marshmallows or hot dogs on sticks over the fire.

Remember, fire can be very dangerous, so we should always be careful when using a fire pit and never leave it unattended.
