Intro to human reproduction

It's important to use simple language and relatable examples. Here's a kid-friendly explanation (I think) :

1. The Egg and Sperm: Just like seeds and flowers make new plants, in humans, we have special cells that help make new people. Girls have tiny eggs inside their bodies, and boys have tiny swimming cells called sperm.

2. Where They Are: The eggs are inside the girls, deep inside her body, in a special place called the ovaries. The sperm are in the boys, in a place called the testicles.

3. How They Meet: When a boy and a girl grow up and decide they want to have a baby, they come together in a special way, and the boy's sperm meet the girl's egg. It's a little like a puzzle piece fitting together!

4. Where It Happens: This meeting place is called the uterus, like a safe room where the baby can grow. The uterus is inside the girl's belly.

5. Growing a Baby: Once the sperm and egg meet, they start to grow into a baby. The baby gets all the food and love it needs from the mommy's body.

6. Birth: After about nine months, the baby is ready to come out, and that's when we have a baby!
