I can’t believe my eyes!

By Linda | February 21, 2008

Whenever we go to our local Science Museum, which is fairly often, my kids always rush to the “Hall of Senses” exhibit first. In particular, the optical illusions displayed there never seem to get old!

The science behind our 5 senses is really interesting educational fodder. I think that kids of all ages delight in having their eyes fooled!  Here are a couple of fun optical illusions followed by links to some web sites than contain tons more!
