A leap year is a year that is divisible by 4, except for years that are divisible by 100, unless they are also divisible by 400. This extra day, February 29th, is added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year. Imagine each year is like a big pizza party. Most years, we have 365 slices of pizza (days). But every four years, we add an extra slice of pizza, making it 366 slices. We call this special year a leap year. It's like having an extra fun day to play and celebrate! We do this because it helps us keep our calendar in line with the way the Earth moves around the sun. So, leap years are like bonus years with an extra day of fun!
