Mirror Boxes

 

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).
