In a world of wonder and play,
Let's learn about some things today.
We'll talk about materials and more,
And see what we can explore.

First up is cement, strong and gray,
Used for building and paving the way.
It hardens in the sun and rain,
And keeps everything firmly in its frame.

Next, let's take a look at a cabinet,
A storage space that's quite elaborate.
With doors and shelves and sometimes locks,
It's where we keep our clothes and socks.

Cellulose is a material you may not know,
It's in paper and wood, and helps them grow.
Plants and trees are full of this stuff,
It's what makes them tall and tough.

A cap is a hat that sits on your head,
It keeps you warm and cozy in bed.
Or maybe it's a bottle top,
That helps keep your drink from spilling non-stop.

A casing is a shell that covers something inside,
Like a sausage or a computer, it helps it to abide.
It's usually made of plastic or metal,
And keeps things safe from harm and settle.

Finally, let's talk about caulk,
It's used to fill gaps and make things rock.
Around windows and doors it's a must,
To keep the weather outside and trust.

So there you have it, some words to know,
About the materials that help things grow.
From cement to caulk, they all have a use,
And help keep our world safe and loose.

Reflections

Here are a few questions to ask kids to think about "The Magic Key Adventure":

1. What do you think the hidden world was like? What kind of creatures do you think they met there?
2. Why do you think the key was so important? What might have happened if they hadn't found it?
3. If you could enter a hidden world like the one in the story, where would you want to go and what would you want to do?
4. What did the children learn from their adventure? Do you think they will ever forget the things they experienced?
5. Would you want to go on an adventure like this one? What qualities do you think you would need to have in order to be a good explorer or adventurer?
