Question from my 10 year old regarding how materials bend. Why do certain configurations bend only 1 way?

Eg. Say you have a flat, rectangular cut-out of plexiglass. We all know it's easy to bend and wobble along the flat side. Why is so much more force required to bend along the thin edge?
She loves science, I love science, but I can't find a way to break this question down.
Thank you anybody in advance!
