What is 5 hours? It’s like having five long playtimes back-to-back, just like when you go to the park or your favorite toy store.
Imagine you start playing with your blocks at 10 o’clock. If you keep playing until 3 o’clock, that's one hour of fun. Now picture doing that, going from 10 to 3, five times in a row! That’s 5 hours of playtime.
How it feels
When we use 5 hours

So next time you hear "5 hours," think of it as your favorite thing happening again and again, and again!
