A fart is gas that builds up in your tummy and looks for a way out. When there is too much air or gas in your belly, it travels through your intestines and eventually leaves through your bottom. It is completely normal and happens to everyone!

But where does it come from? Farts are mainly made of two things:

• Air: When you eat, drink, or talk, you swallow a bit of air.
• Digestion: Inside your tummy, there are millions of tiny, helpful bacteria. They help break down your food, and while they work, they create gas.

Some foods, like beans, cabbage, or dairy products, can make more gas than others. When too much gas builds up, your tummy might feel bloated or “rumbly” until the fart comes out.

This teaches us that our body is like a little factory that is always working. Everything we eat goes on a long journey, and sometimes the factory just produces a bit of extra steam!

Remember, even though farts can sometimes smell funny or sound loud, they are just a sign that your tummy bacteria are working hard. 😄
