To lift something from the ground or a surface and hold it in your hands.
This phrase comes from the old word 'pick' meaning to choose or take, and 'up' meaning higher.
When you pick up your toys from the floor, you're being such a good helper! Just like when you pick up a pretty flower or your favorite stuffed animal for a hug.
