  I made this activity using acrylic mirror and secured them around recycled boxes. This mirror activity can help children to develop several skills such as: eye-hand coordination, language and listening skills, and imitation. Once a baby's vision begins to develop, they love to look at faces, even their own. Here's how babies can get in on the reflection fun and help support their development. (Some babies use the mirror boxes as a stacking toy instead. This is evident that they are confident and involved learners, as they use play to investigate, imagine and explore ideas).   Learning Outcome: 1.3 - Children develop knowledgeable and confident self-identities 5.3 - Children express ideas and make meaning using a range of media   National Quality Standard: 1.1.1  -  Curriculum decision making contributes to each child’s learning and development outcomes in relation to their identity, connection with community, wellbeing, confidence as learners and effectivenes

  Fine Motor Activity Mat Fine motor skills are the coordination of small muscle movements – usually involving small, precise thumb, finger, hand, and wrist movements. I made the mat using buttons, zippers, and Velcro, sewn into fabric – to allows children to play with small objects, encourages creativity, and improves hand-eye coordination. Learning Outcome: 4.1 – Children develop dispositions such as curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination, and reflexivity.   National Quality Standard: 4.1.1 – The organisation of educators across the service supports children’s learning and development.   Principle And Practice: Learning through play   Theorist: Loris Malaguzzi — He belief that children are powerful and capable individuals, with the ability and desire to construct their own knowledge    

  I made the rattles from recycled boxes and filled them with different objects to make sounds when the babies shake them up. Rattles can help to teach babies many new skills. When we hold a rattle up, babies might first look at the rattle with their eyes. If we move the rattle from one side to the other, babies learn to visually track, or coordinate their eyes together to watch a moving toy. The sounds rattles make can also alert babies to noise. If they hear the sound of a rattle, babies will eventually turn their heads towards the sound.  At first, babies will hold their rattles tightly with a strong grasp reflex. As their fine motor skills develop, they will learn to hold and shake the rattle in the air. Learning Outcome: 4.3 – Children transfer and adapt what they have learned from one context to another   National Quality Standard: 3.2.2 – Resources, materials, and equipment allow for multiple uses, are sufficient in number, and enable every child to engage in pl
