Song of Solomon 2:3

“As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.”

— Song of Solomon 2:3 (WEB)

Texture is how something feels when you touch it. Some things are smooth, some are rough, some are soft.

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Texture is what we feel with our fingers
  • Different materials feel different ways
  • We can describe textures with words like smooth, rough, bumpy
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What's the smoothest thing you've ever touched?
  • What feels rough to you?
