What is warmth?

Warmth is what makes your toes feel happy when you step on the floor after being outside in the cold.

Warmth is like a cozy blanket that wraps around you and makes you feel good inside. Imagine sitting next to a fire, like the one in Grandma’s living room, the heat from the fire slowly moves through the air and touches your skin, making you feel warm all over.

How warmth works

Think of warmth as little helpers called heat that are always on the move. When something is hot, like a cup of cocoa or a sunny day, those helpers run around and push their way into cooler things, like your hands or your bed, making them feel warm too.

Warmth in everyday life

You can find warmth all around you:

  • Your mom’s hug on a chilly morning.
  • The sun shining on your face after playing outside.
  • A hot bath that makes your whole body relax and smile.

Warmth is not magic, it's just something that moves from one place to another, like the helpers in Grandma’s fire.
