Children love to observe themselves in the mirror.....a whole lot of understandings and connections begin and continue to take place when then do.
Recently, we were at a shopping venue and saw our image on the security camera, and it was noted by the Preschooler that the image was "...not the same side".
So we have been playing 'Mirror Mirror' today to capitalize on the episode. It is a fun game and a good opportunity to talk about opposites, object, image, left and right.
Ask your Preschooler to pretend they are looking into the mirror - they are the object, you are the image and you copy their actions.
Swap over. When it is your turn model good posture and slow but interesting movements that increases their repertoire of actions. Enlist other Preschoolers to play with yours.
