Moai

Okay kiddo, let me tell you about moais. Moais are big stone statues found on Easter Island. Easter Island is a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The moais were made by the Rapa Nui people who lived on the island a long, long time ago.

The moais are very special because they were carved out of volcanic rock. People used chisels to carefully shape the rock into big statue shapes. Some of the moais are really tall, as tall as ten adults standing on top of each other!

But why did the Rapa Nui people make the moais? Well, it's a bit of a mystery. Some people think the statues were made to represent important ancestors or leaders. Others think they were made to protect the island from bad spirits. Whatever the reason, the moais were very important to the Rapa Nui people.

Today, people from all over the world visit Easter Island to see the moais. They are a really cool reminder of the island's fascinating history and the creativity of the people who lived there a long time ago.
