💭 Review Question: Can you remember what body part helps us hear sounds?
2Teaching (5 min)

Our hands are special tools God gave us to feel and understand different textures. Some things feel soft like a bunny, some feel rough like tree bark, and some feel smooth like a polished stone.

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • God made our hands with special nerves that help us feel
  • Textures can be soft, rough, smooth, or bumpy
  • Our sense of touch helps us learn about the world
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What is the softest thing you've ever touched?
  • Can you show me something rough in our room?
