Talking to the Mirror

Materials You Need: A 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 begins by saying various sounds of laughter, animals, objects. Wait for her response. At first, 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 herself in a language and to be able to identify them later in other people.
