Wood is an insulator. Think about it; when you put a wooden or plastic spoon in boiling water, does it burn your hand? No. This is because it slows the flow of heat from the water to your hand. I do not suggest trying the same thing with a metal spoon, which is a good conductor.

Because it traps the heat and keeps you hand warm.

It really depends. Glass, for example, does a fair job at conducting heat, but it is an insulator to electricity, which is why it is usually used for the insulators on power lines. Metal, on the other hand, is usually a conductor of electricity, and a conductor of heat as well, so it depends.

No, cotton is not a better insulator than aluminum foil and tissue paper. Aluminum foil is a good insulator as it reflects heat, while tissue paper acts as a thermal barrier. Cotton, on the other hand, is not as effective of an insulator because it does not have the same reflective or thermal barrier properties.
