Sense of Touch

The sense of touch is the ability to feel things through our skin, like softness, hardness, temperature, and texture.

Soft means something that is easy to press or squeeze, like a pillow or cotton candy.

Hard means something that is not easy to press or squeeze, like a rock or a toy block.

Smooth means a surface that is even and not rough, like a mirror or a toy egg.

Rough means a surface that is not even and can feel bumpy, like sandpaper.

We can feel different textures, temperatures, and shapes with our sense of touch.

An example of something cold is ice or refreshing orange juice.

An example of something hot is soup or a cup of tea.

An example of something soft is a marshmallow or a stuffed animal.

An example of something hard is a rock or a metal toy.
