All About Snails and Their Eyes for Kids

Hi there! Let's learn about snails and their eyes. Snails are small animals that carry their homes on their backs. They move slowly and leave a shiny trail behind.

Where Are a Snail's Eyes?

Snails have two pairs of tentacles (like little arms) on their heads. The eyes are at the tips of the longer pair of tentacles. So, their eyes are not like ours; they are little dots at the end of their feelers.

What Do Snails See?

Snails don't see very well. Their eyes can only tell if it is light or dark and if something is moving, but they can't see detailed pictures like we do.

Why Do Snails Have Their Eyes on Tentacles?

Because their eyes are on tentacles, they can move their eyes around to look in different directions while they are crawling around.

Isn't that cool? Snails are amazing little creatures with special eyes that help them explore the world in their own way!
