The best way to do this is an ongoing conversation from when they're young. Age appropriate. Baby grows in Mommy's tummy, can be around age 3 or when you're pregnant and showing. Respond to questions about Mommy's bodies regarding body hair and breasts when they ask. Simple matter of fact answers like the body changes and matures as you get older. Yes it will happen to you too. Answer their questions about Mommy's and Tatty's being allowed to touch with a simple yes. Name the v@gina at an age they can handle the word even in public. Discuss upcoming breast buds in more detail around age 8. Periods and baby's being born via the v@gina, about half a year after they develop their first buds. S&x when they ask. Start small like keym's puzzle idea but no need to go further during that first conversation to getting into the details of the mitzvah. That will come a little later when their minds mature, which you'll know when that is when they ask you further questions. Mikvah some time too.
You can always give 1 line answers and no need to expand if they don't need it. Sometimes we think they're asking for the whole shebang but they're really just looking for 1 sentence and we don't know how to answer just 1 thing without giving more information. So we need to figure out how to give simple answers. It's much more nonchalant and easier to take matter of factly this way. Also easier to digest.

I'm not on the same page about that. I don't feel it's necessary to give information to kids about adulthood, like how pregnancy or birth happens. It's perfectly fine to answer, When you get older, you'll understand.

I don't know if you're referring to a more recent thread but here's this.

This is beautifully explained but better to break it down simpler and easier into an ongoing conversation from when they're young.
