When you hold your favorite toy in your hand, that’s called a grip. It’s like giving your toy a little hug with your fingers so it doesn’t fall. Imagine your hand is like a friendly octopus, wrapping its tentacles around a treasure. The tighter you hold, the stronger your grip, just like when you squeeze a sponge to get all the water out.
Think of a grip like a superhero’s power. When Spider-Man sticks to walls, he uses his special grip to stay up high. Your hand does something similar when you hold onto the monkey bars at the playground. It helps you stay safe and not slip off.
A grip can also be like a clamp. When you close a clothespin on a piece of paper, the pin grips the paper tightly so it won’t fly away. Your hand does this when you hold onto a pencil and draw your favorite picture. The grip helps you keep control so you can make beautiful art.
