ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Folded leaflet

Okay kiddo, have you ever made a paper fan? It's where you fold a piece of paper back and forth so that it makes a zig-zag shape. That's kind of what a folded leaflet is like.

Imagine you have a big piece of paper that you want to make into a leaflet with information on it. But instead of just printing on the front and back, you want to make it more interesting and colorful. So you fold the paper in half, like a book, so that you have four pages to work with instead of two.

But wait, there's more! You can fold each of those four pages again in half, making eight smaller pages to work with. And if you're feeling really fancy, you can even fold those smaller pages in half again, making sixteen even smaller pages!

Each time you fold it, you create more space to put information or pictures. And because it's folded like a fan, it's easy to open up and read all of the pages without having to flip the paper over or turn it sideways.

So that's what a folded leaflet is - a piece of paper that's been folded multiple times to create more space for information or images. It's a great way to make something more interesting and interactive!
