MamaT sent me an interesting Friday Five idea yesterday.

1. What feels blue to you?
2. What smells green to you?
3. What tastes red to you?
4. What feels purple to you?
5. What sounds white to you?



I am wondering if this condition is more common with people who are musical or artistic.

I imagine this will come very easily for some of you, and for others it will be a struggle.

In his book Any Child Can Write, Harvey S. Wiener writes a chapter on The Senses at Play:Images as Building Blocks. It was a fun chapter to do with all three of our children. (Ten years ago!)
