To solve this problem, we need to decide if each object feels
soft or
hard when you touch it.
Step 1: Look at the Sheep
Sheep have wool on their bodies. Wool is fluffy and fuzzy. When you pet a sheep (or a stuffed animal that looks like one), it feels soft.

Category: Soft
Step 2: Look at the Hard Hat
This is a safety helmet made of thick plastic. It is designed to protect your head from heavy things, so it must be very strong and solid. It does not squish.
*
Category: Hard
Step 3: Look at the Ice Cream Cone
The ice cream part is frozen but creamy. If you touch it, it feels smooth and yielding, not like a rock or wood. In these activities, food items like ice cream, marshmallows, or bread are usually considered soft because they aren't rigid solids.

Category: Soft
Step 4: Look at the Stool
A stool is furniture used for sitting. It is usually made of wood or metal. If you knock on it, it makes a solid sound. You cannot squeeze it.
*
Category: Hard
Step 5: Look at the Turtle Shell
A turtle's shell is its protection. It is made of bone-like material covered in keratin. It is very tough and rigid to keep the turtle safe.
*
Category: Hard
Step 6: Look at the Teddy Bear
Teddy bears are stuffed toys filled with cotton or fluff. They are made specifically to be cuddly and squishy.
*
Category: Soft
Step 7: Look at the Book
A book has a cover and pages. While the pages can bend, the overall object is solid and firm. You stack books on top of each other because they hold their shape. Compared to a pillow or fur, a book is hard.

Category: Hard
Step 8: Look at the Feather
A feather comes from a bird. It is very light, thin, and airy. When it touches your skin, it barely feels like anything. It is definitely not hard.

Category: Soft
