Putty knife

Okay kiddo, so a putty knife is a tool that helps people scrape and spread different types of materials. It is a flat metal blade with a handle to hold on to.

Have you ever played with play-doh? A putty knife is kind of like a big version of the tool you use to flatten and shape the play-doh.

Grown-ups use putty knives to remove things like paint or wallpaper from walls, or to spread putty or spackle to fill in holes in walls.

So, just like how you use your small play-doh tool to shape your play-doh, a putty knife helps grown-ups shape and mold different kinds of materials.
