Gift

Hi there little one! Do you know what a gift is? It's something that someone gives to you as a present to show that they care about you and want to make you happy.

Let's say it's your friend's birthday coming up and you want to give them something nice. You might go to a store and pick out something that you think your friend will like. This thing is called a gift.

Gifts can come in all shapes and sizes. Some gifts can be big like a toy or a bicycle while others can be small like a piece of candy. What makes a gift special is not its size or cost, but the thought behind it. When you give a gift, you're showing your friend or family member that you care about them and are thinking about them.

It's important to remember that gifts are not just for birthdays. You can give someone a gift for any occasion or even just because. Maybe your mom has had a tough day and you want to make her happy, you could give her a little gift to show you care.

So, now you know that a gift is something special that is given to you to make you happy and feel loved. And remember, it's not the size or cost that matters, it's the thought and love behind it.
