Read the clues. Click on the correct picture. Let’s practice.

I grow on an ear. Cook me in hot oil. I will puff up and taste good. What am I?
You need me before you can mail a letter. Paste me on an envelope. What am I?
I am white. You need me every day. You drink me when you are thirsty. What am I?
I look like a baby. You can give me a name. Children like to play with me. What am I?
