About the Thumbs-up thumb
The thumb is the short, strong digit set apart from your four fingers. What makes it special is that it can swing across to touch each fingertip, and that grip is what lets your hand hold a spoon, a crayon, or a ball. Without a thumb, even simple tasks would be tricky. Trace the thumb, then try touching your own thumb to each finger in turn.
- The thumb can touch every other finger, which lets the hand grip.
- The thumb has two bones, one fewer than the other fingers.
