Supply increases happen when there are more things available to buy or use, like more toys on a shelf.
Imagine you're at a toy store, and there’s only one ball in the whole shop. That means not many kids can play with it. But if the store gets 10 more balls, suddenly lots of kids can have fun with them. That’s a supply increase, more toys are now available.
