Looking for something fun to do with your baby? Try grabbing a mirror and letting her gaze at her reflection for a little while, because babies love to look and learn from faces. She won’t recognize herself quite yet (that usually happens around 9 months) but she will learn to focus on images and follow them as they move. She also will see all the expressions and things her face can do. To make it more fun you can get into the mirror with her and make silly expressions that she will eventually try to imitate. You can also point to her eyes, nose, mouth, etc. and teach her the names. Interacting with mom or dad while having mirror play provides baby social and emotional benefits. These non-toxic mirrors are perfect for tummy-time fun.

    Hi.. What a thoughtful and well researched set of lists. The thought of a tummy time mirror being toxic never crossed my mind. Keep up the good work and keep it coming.
