What is DNA?

Hi there! Have you ever heard of something called DNA? It's kind of like a tiny instruction book that tells your body how to grow and work. Just like a cookbook tells you how to make a yummy cake, DNA gives instructions on how to make all the parts of your body.

Where is DNA?

Your DNA is found in almost every part of your body! It's in the tiny building blocks that make up your body, which are called cells. Each of your cells has a special part that holds the DNA, like a treasure chest that keeps the instructions safe.

What does DNA do?

DNA helps decide what color your eyes are, how tall you will grow, and even if you will have straight or curly hair. It’s what makes you, YOU! Even though DNA is really tiny, it is super important because it helps your body know how to be healthy and strong.

Fun Fact

Did you know that every living thing has DNA? That means animals, plants, and even tiny little bugs. They all have their own special instructions, just like you!

So, next time you think about what makes you unique or special, remember it’s your DNA doing its important work!
