Why are plants and leaves green?

My five year old asked me why plants and leave are green as opposed to being black, blue, silver, golden, etc. I know about plants containing chlorophyll but how do I explain it to her without sounding all science-y?

Chlorophyll the part of plants that converts sunlight into energy into energy that the plant can use are green the green part of the spectrum is the least useful part in producing energy so it is reflected making most leaves appear green. https://youtu.be/sBUmjEAhN3o
