Mirror Play
Position your child in front of the mirror so that they can see both their reflection and your reflection.
- Imitation - make funny faces in the mirror and see if they do the same (wrinkle nose, stick out tongue, widen eyes, etc).
- Copy their funny faces.
- Point to your nose, hair, eyes, etc and name them. This helps to learn the names of body parts.
- Put on glasses, hats, jewellery, make marks on face with make up or sauces. How do they respond?
