Please no butterfly analogies.

I recently had to explain this to my 10 year-old as we received a chaos engine from Kiwicrate.
What I said was the idea behind chaos theory is the tiniest, unknowable variations at the start of a process can magnify until they have massive consequences at the end. Having the chaos engine I could demonstrate that even if we held the arms in what looked like exactly the same way we’d never be able to replicate the shapes it made thanks to tiny variations in weight distribution, even air currents and bearing heat etc. She loved it.
