I know the Arithmetic proof and everything but how to explain this practically to a kid who just started understanding the numbers?

If they are just starting to understand numbers, maybe don’t bother with this part yet?

If you have to explain it….

If you have 1, and you subtract nothing from it (we’ll, a thought and prayer more than nothing, but not a whiff beyond that)… you still have one.

So, if I give you an Apple, then I grab it back, rub it off, and give it to you again…. You have 1 Apple still.
