What if you've got a magic sense of touch? Yes, we do! Isn't it great? I love being able to feel different things, everything has its own unique feel. For example, the feel of a soft, furry puppy, or a rabbit; the rough feel of sandpaper, or a chin that needs to be shaved; the smooth feel of a baby skin; the prickly feel of a cactus; the sticky feel of tape or glue; the slippery feel of an eel. Because we are able to feel different things, we are able to understand our environment better, knowing when something is too hot, or too cold: our skin and nerves let us know. Are you ticklish under your arms or on the bottom of your feet? Feeling is fun! Wouldn't it be strange if we couldn't feel anything?

　　Talk about it:

　　Do you have a good sense of touch? Are you sensitive to things you touch? Are you ticklish? Where? Do you have a favourite texture you like to touch? What are some things that you do not like to touch? The sense of touch can be powerful, can you give an example where this is true? Can you determine what the object is only by touching it?
