Non-living things are things that do not grow, move, or need food and water. These things can be made by nature or by people. Non-living things can't breathe or reproduce like living things.
Example: A rock is a non-living thing because it doesn't eat or grow. A toy car is also non-living because it doesn't move on its own.
Fun Fact: Non-living things can still be fun! You can play with toys, and they can be found all around us in nature!
