Learn how hands change from infancy to old age, focusing on their proportions, shapes, and textures at each stage of development. Baby hands are tiny, chubby, and soft with conical fingers and dimples at the knuckles. As children grow, their hands elongate, lose baby fat, and fingers become more cylindrical. Adolescent hands grow rapidly, becoming more defined and slender. Teen hands resemble adult hands but vary with growth spurts. Adult hands are fully developed with prominent musculature and bony features. In old age, hands may shrink, with more visible veins, tendons, and bones.
