Materials
Unbreakable mirror
Small square scarf or cloth
Directions
Mount an unbreakable mirror low on the wall so that you infant can see herself when she is on the floor or in a low seat. Play peek-a-boo in front of the mirror with baby by placing a small cloth over her head, making baby “disappear”. Remove the cloth and say, “Peek-a-boo!” Talk to your baby while she is looking in the mirror, showing her her eyes, nose, mouth, and so on. Use your child’s name and point to the image so that she knows the reflection is her.
Here’s a rhyme you can say:
Here are your fingers; here are your toes.
Here is your chin; and here is your nose.
