When we talk about ‘topple’, think about a tower of blocks. If you push one block too hard, the whole tower might fall over. That’s what ‘topple’ means! It’s like when something is standing tall, but then it loses its balance and falls down.
Imagine you’re playing with your favorite action figures. You line them up, and they’re all standing straight. But if you accidentally bump the table, one might fall and knock over the others. That’s a little like toppling. Each figure was standing strong, but a little nudge made them fall over.
Picture a big tree in a storm. The wind blows really hard, and if the tree isn’t strong enough, it might fall. That’s another way to think about toppling. The tree was standing tall, but the strong wind made it lose its balance.
Think of a domino chain. When you push the first domino, it falls and knocks over the next one, and then the next, until all of them have fallen. This is a fun way to see toppling in action. Each domino was standing, but one little push made them all fall down.
