Manila folder

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a piece of paper that you need to keep safe and organized? Maybe it's a school project or a drawing that you made. Well, a manila folder is a special kind of paper holder that can help keep your important papers safe and organized.

It is usually made out of a thick, sturdy paper that is kind of creamy color, and it has two sides that fold up with a little tab on the bottom. You might have seen them before in your classroom or your parent's office.

When you need to store a piece of paper in a manila folder, you can simply slip it inside and make sure it is snugly fit. Then, you can label the tab with the name of the paper or project, so that you know what's inside the folder without having to open it up every time.

The great thing about manila folders is that they can hold a lot of papers at once! You can fill up a whole bunch of them with your school work or your special drawings, and they will all be in one easy-to-find place. Plus, the folders are easy to carry around or store in a drawer or shelf.

So there you have it, kiddo! A manila folder is a special paper holder that helps you keep your important papers safe and organized.
