Here's how to talk to your child about it
After watching this video, you've learned that our eyes see everything upside down and backwards. But don't worry, our brain flips the images for us so we can see things right side up. Our eyes also see objects as two-dimensional shapes, but our brain helps us see them in three dimensions.

Some activities you can do with your child now
- Engage in a discussion about how our eyes see everything upside down and backwards, and ask your child if they can think of any examples of how our brain helps us see things the right way. - Encourage your child to draw or create their own 2D and 3D shapes, and talk about how our eyes see objects as flat but our brain can perceive them as three-dimensional. - Play a game of "upside down" where you and your child try to do everyday activities while pretending everything is upside down, to help them understand how difficult it would be to live in an upside down world. - Take a walk outside and point out different objects and ask your child to describe how they appear to their eyes, emphasizing the concept that our eyes see the world in a unique way.
