About the Fingernail

A fingernail is the hard, smooth plate that covers the tip of each finger. It is made of the same tough material, called keratin, as animal horns and hooves. Nails shield the sensitive fingertips and also help you scratch an itch or peel a sticker. Trace the rounded nail shape for a lesson on the parts of the hand.
