How to try it

Open a board book with a mirror page and ask \"who's that?\" when your toddler looks in. Make a big smile or a surprised face beside them in the mirror, wait for them to copy it, then copy whatever face they make back.

Materials

  • Board book with a mirror page

Safety note

Choose a book with a shatterproof mirror, never glass, and no loose parts.

Save this idea

Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.

Why it matters

Seeing their own face copy yours inside a book makes your toddler part of the story, and swapping faces turns it into a back-and-forth game.
