Babies are fascinated by faces, especially their own! As they grow, little ones learn to identify familiar faces and how to focus their eyesight. Mirror play can be a fantastic way to foster this and their self-awareness, as they learn to recognise their own reflection.
Plus, it’s a wonderful way to connect! Talk to your little one about their face and show them how the two of you are similar. Try silly expressions and watch them light up as they discover themselves.
Watch as Make Way For Books explain how Mirror Play can help to build vocabulary too!
