To explain to a 5-year-old, what is an Object. Tell them that Objects in the programming language are like Objects in real life. Example, say the object... function Lion() { this.init = function() {} } ... is the same thing as... A Toy Lion on the child's shelf. The Object's "ROAR" Method can be the Lion's Big Loud Roar. In basic, to explain to a young child the fundsmentals of programming, you over-simplify - expanding upon their knowledge at a later date, when they have matured and understand what you are saying.

It is like a knife. Every knife are BASICALLY the same, they have a blade. But every knife have its own blade, some longer, some rusted, some with "teeth"
