Why do some toys float on water while others sink?

👶 Short Answer (For Little Kids)

Some toys float because they're lighter than water, while others sink because they're heavier.

🧠 Detailed Explanation (For Older Kids)

When you put a toy in water, it can either sink or float based on its density. If a toy is less dense than the water, it will float like a boat! But if it's more dense, it will sink to the bottom. So it's all about how heavy the toy is compared to the water.
