Kavi's Toolbox of Materials
Kavi opens a big toolbox 🧰 full of materials. "We don't pick a material just because we like it," hoots Kavi. "We pick it for what it can do — that's its property! Glass is clear, so it makes windows. Metal is strong, so it makes keys. Wool is warm, so it makes jumpers. Let's match each material to the right job!"
