Carving is like when you play with playdough. You take a big piece and use your fingers or little tools to shape it into something new, like a dinosaur or a heart. Carving is similar, but instead of playdough, you use something harder like wood or stone. You use special tools to carefully take away bits and pieces until you have the shape you want.
Think of carving like drawing, but instead of using a pencil to put lines on paper, you use tools to take away pieces of material. It’s like magic, where you reveal a hidden picture by removing the extra parts. Each time you take away a piece, you’re getting closer to your final creation.
Imagine carving as a puzzle where the pieces are hidden inside a block. You have to be very patient and gentle, like a detective, to find the right pieces to remove. When you’re done, you have something beautiful that wasn’t there before, like when you finish a jigsaw puzzle and see the whole picture.
