Ikimon Coloring Contest 2024
We are holding the 5th Annual Ikimon Coloring Contest!
The theme this time is the “Hair”.
The skin which covers the surface of our body is in fact the largest organ of human body. It is the hairs on the skin that help us to sense pain, itchiness, and hot and cold, to lower our body temperature by producing sweat, and to form goose bumps to protect us from the cold.
Color and explore the base of the skin hair follicle, which has a range of different functions.
