Happy Mother's Day Edition
Protective Mom!
Top 10: Animal Moms
Thank you to all the moms and mother figures out there for all that you do to help us grow. We so appreciate you! Here's some Mother's Day STEM activities to make or do and gift! 💛
Ambiguous Images
Ambiguous images are pictures that can be seen in different ways, depending on how you look at them. It's like a magic trick for your eyes and brain! Sometimes, these images can show one thing at first, and when you look again, you might see something else completely.
For example, imagine a picture of a face that can also look like a vase, depending on which part of the picture you focus on. Ambiguous images are fun because they make us think and look at things in different ways.
They help our brains practice seeing things from different points of view, which can make us better at solving problems and being creative! It's like a game for your eyes and mind!
Two Faces or Vase?
Donkey or Seal?
Young or Old Lady?
Duck or Rabbit?
Frog or Horse?
