I saw a
link posted on facebook where there were various examples shown of inanimate everyday objects that look like faces. There's even a name for the phenomenon:
Pareidolia. ("Pareidolia! That's fun to say!") If you follow the link you'll read that
"Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. It commonly occurs as face-like patterns in inanimate objects."
After seeing the examples, I thought it would be fun to go on a
Face Finding Scavenger Hunt with the kids and experience some pareidolia of our own. Here is what we found:
 |
Can you see it? Is it a phone stand or a face with a rather high hairdo? |
 |
Kaitlin called me on my way to work to tell me that she'd found this one. |
 |
Two eyes and a big smile - must have just been out shopping. |
 |
Poor fridge. So sad because it's hard water stains are showing. |
 |
I think this Odyssey has a rather smug smile considering how bad it needs a bath. |
 |
My kids see an animal with horns, I see a skull. What do you see? |
 |
I do believe the vent is winking at me! |
"I asked for wonder and He gave it to me."
