When something is frozen, it’s like when you put a toy in the freezer, and it becomes hard and cold. It’s like the toy is wearing a special ice coat that makes it stiff and chilly. Just like when you wear a big coat in winter to stay warm, the toy wears an ice coat to stay cold.
Imagine a pond turning into a big ice rink. The water in the pond becomes so cold that it stops moving and turns into ice. You can even slide on it because it’s become so hard. That’s because the water is frozen, just like when you freeze your favorite juice to make a popsicle.
Think of a snowman. When you build it, the snow is soft and fluffy. But when it gets really cold outside, the snowman becomes harder and stays in shape. That’s because the snow is frozen, keeping the snowman from melting away too quickly.
Frozen things are like time travelers. They stop moving and changing, like they’re taking a long nap in the cold. They wait until they get warm again to wake up and move around.
