What is impression?

An impression is like leaving your mark on something, just like when you press your hand into wet clay and it stays there.

Imagine you're playing with playdough. When you press your finger into it, the playdough changes shape a little bit. That’s an impression, it's how something affects or changes another thing, even if only slightly.

Think about when you draw on a window with your finger. The water makes it easier to leave your mark. When you lift your finger, the shape of your finger stays behind like a fingerprint, that’s an impression too!

When you write something down, like your name on a paper, you're making an impression with your pencil. The pencil leaves marks on the paper so people can see what you wrote.

Every time you press, draw, or even walk on the ground, you’re making little impressions all around you, just like when you press your hand into wet clay! An impression is like leaving your mark on something, just like when you press your hand into wet clay and it stays there.
