Mirror

Science

• The child used the mirror to explore reflections and understand the concept of symmetry.
• By observing their own movements and facial expressions in the mirror, the child learned about cause and effect.
• The activity helped the child develop their sense of self-awareness and recognition by seeing their own reflection.

For continued development, you can introduce more objects with different shapes and textures for the child to explore how they appear in the mirror. Encourage the child to make funny faces or imitate different expressions to further enhance their understanding of reflections and emotions.
