Basic Body Concepts
“There’s my nose, and my eyes, and my hair!” As your little one starts to understand what she looks like, figures out how to identify different parts of her body and learns how her body works, she’s forming overall body awareness. Young children learn about their world by first having a good understanding about their body and how it fits, moves and reacts in their environment. Looking at her own image in the MIRROR ON-THE-GO can help her build a foundation for basic body concepts by establishing self-recognition, body image and an understanding of how other people have the same parts, too. Building body awareness and a sense of self is an ongoing process. Later, children can transition basic body concepts into more complex skills such as spatial awareness.

Bonding & Attachment
Babies are naturally social and eagerly smile, coo and interrelate with anyone around. When there’s no one else around, the MIRROR ON-THE-GO can help them become familiar with those natural social responses that will help them bond and attach with others. Attachment to known things and people is vital for children to feel loved, safe and secure and to grow to bond with the people around them. Positive attachments to people as well as things play an enormous part in developing the sense of security a young child needs.

Tactile Play
Different textures all over the MIRROR ON-THE-GO provide baby with lots of stimulating sensory experiences. Young children first learn though the sense of touch, so feeling different surfaces on the skin is important. Tactile learning goes beyond the hands and fingers—there are actually more sensory receptors in the mouth than anywhere else on the body. That means the bumpy leaf teether of the MIRROR ON-THE-GO not only soothes and stimulates gums, it can also help babies learn about shape, size and texture.

Fine Motor Skills
Smooth, bumpy, crinkly and soft! Using her fingers, baby is making discoveries about texture, density, shape and size—and learning that she can even move things around to make sounds. At a young age, children’s finger and hand movements are random but over time, the hand and finger movements become more refined and purposeful. The MIRROR ON-THE-GO provides lots of opportunities to practice fine motor skills with clacking rings, a bumpy teether and a soft crinkly star and attachments to pull and explore. When she crinkles the star or tugs the rings, she’s discovering what she can do and how she can make things happen using her hands and fingers.

Want to join the fun? Playing with your child can boost his learning, and it gives him more time to bond with you! Try these simple tips to enhance your child’s play experience:
- Attach the MIRROR ON-THE-GO to the car seat or stroller so baby can play while you’re out and about together.
- Describe the surfaces on the MIRROR ON-THE-GO, using sensory words. Is it smooth or rough? Hearing the words in context strengthens baby’s understanding as she touches the surface described while hearing the word.
- Smile and make silly faces in the mirror and let your baby watch your reflection, then point the mirror to let her see herself. Try to get her to smile and make silly faces, too!
