Tinplate

Tinplate is like a metal sheet that is covered with a thin layer of tin. It is often used to make things that need to be protected from rust, like food cans or toys. Think of it like wrapping a present in shiny paper to keep it nice and safe! The tin layer helps to prevent the metal underneath from getting rusty, which can make things look old and yucky. So, when you buy canned food or play with a metal toy, you can thank tinplate for keeping it shiny and new!
