What children learn in Level 24

Texture is how something feels when you touch it. We feel texture with our hands!
Some things feel soft, like a teddy bear. Some feel hard, like a rock.
Some things feel smooth, like an egg. Some feel rough, like a log.
Try it with a grown-up! Close your eyes. Your grown-up hands you something. Is it soft, hard, smooth, or rough?
