What is the cheek region?
Imagine your face as a cookie jar. The cheek region is like the sides of the jar, it’s where your cheeks are. These areas help make your face round and give you a friendly look when you smile. When you eat ice cream, your cheeks puff up, that’s the cheek region working!
What is the nasal region?
Now think about your nose as the lid on top of the cookie jar. The nasal region includes your nose and the area around it. It helps you smell cookies (or maybe your lunch) and lets air flow in when you breathe. Your nose is like a door, it opens up to let smells come in, and sometimes even a little bit of food goes in too, like when you eat soup!
So together, the cheek and nasal regions are like two important parts of your face that help you look nice, feel things, and even smell your favorite snacks!
