Talking to the Mirror

Materials You Need: Mirror

What You Can Do Together: Invite your little one to look in the mirror. Stand in front of the mirror, the two of you together. Begin by greeting and repeating sounds to your baby.

She/he begins by saying various sounds of laughter, animals, objects. Wait for his/her response. At first, he/she will be surprised, but with frequency, your little one will start making sounds too.

Repeat the sounds your little one makes.

What Your Child is Learning: This simple activity will allow your little one to recognize and express him- herself in a language and to be able to identify them later in other people.
