Why do we have eyebrows?
Eyebrows are like little roofs that keep sweat and rain out of your eyes.
Pip’s answer
- Eyebrows are like little roofs that keep sweat and rain out of your eyes.
- The drops slide off to the sides, so you can keep seeing.
- They also move up and down to show if you feel happy or surprised.
- Wow-ee, friends can tell how you feel just from your eyebrows!

For grown-ups
Eyebrows help keep sweat and rain out of the eyes by channeling drops to the sides. They are also important for communication: raising, lowering or scrunching them shows surprise, anger, worry and other feelings.
Ask your child: Can you show me happy, surprised and grumpy eyebrows?
