The Amazing Covering: Skin

Did you know that everyone and every animal has skin? Lupita shares this fun fact, and Elmo is surprised to learn that even under his furry red fur, there’s skin! Skin is like a special coat that protects all living things.

What Does Skin Do?

Lupita explains that skin is super important because it does a lot of things:

  • Protection: Skin is like a superhero shield! It keeps us safe from things like germs, the sun, and getting hurt.
  • Feeling: Our skin helps us feel things. We can tell if something is hot, cold, rough, or smooth because of our skin. This helps us learn about the world around us.
  • Ticklish Fun: Skin can be ticklish too! This makes us giggle and have fun with our friends and family.

The Beauty of Different Skin Colors

Elmo notices Lupita’s beautiful brown skin, and she tells him that skin comes in many different colors. Each color is special and beautiful. This makes everyone unique and wonderful!

  1. Skin Observation Adventure: Go on a mini adventure around your home or classroom. Look at your skin and the skin of your friends or family members. What do you notice? Is it smooth, rough, or maybe a little ticklish? Try to find different textures and colors. Draw a picture of what you see and share it with your class. Talk about how everyone’s skin is special and unique.

  2. Feel the World: Use your sense of touch to explore different objects around you. Find something soft, something hard, something warm, and something cool. Close your eyes and have a friend hand you an object. Can you guess what it is just by feeling it? This activity helps you understand how your skin helps you learn about the world.
