How Does the Toothpaste Get into the Tube
How can toothpaste go into a tube when the opening under its cap is so small? This nonfiction book turns a familiar bathroom object into a question about design and manufacturing. The story moves from shared toothpaste jars to the idea of a squeezable tube, then explains filling tubes through the wider, unsealed end. Readers also encounter a conveyor belt and filling nozzle. Before opening the book in Pupila, invite your child to sketch a way to fill a tube, then compare their idea with the process described.
