Touching and Smelling

Your SKIN gives you the sense of touch! Your skin is your biggest body part — it covers your whole body. With touch, you can feel if something is hot or cold, rough or smooth, hard or soft, wet or dry. Your fingertips are extra sensitive — they have the most touch sensors. That is why you use your fingers to feel things! Touch also tells you about pain — ouch, that is sharp! — which keeps you safe.
