Imagine touching honey. It’s thick and gooey, and when you try to pull your fingers apart, they stick together. That’s what we call sticky. It means things like to hold onto each other, like how honey holds onto your fingers.
Think about tape. When you press it onto paper, it stays there because it’s sticky. It grabs onto the paper and doesn’t let go. Sticky things like to hug whatever they touch, like how tape hugs paper.
Consider a spider’s web. When a fly lands on it, the web catches the fly because it’s sticky. This helps the spider catch its food. Sticky things are like little traps that hold onto what they touch.
Imagine playing with glue. When you spread it on paper and press another piece on top, they stick together. Glue is sticky because it helps things stay together, like building a tower with blocks that won’t fall apart.
Sticky can also be like a muddy puddle. When you step in it, your shoes get stuck a little because the mud is sticky. Sticky things can sometimes make it hard to move, like when your shoes get stuck in the mud.
