It might come as little surprise to parents and childcare professionals, but babies love faces. Infants and toddlers are naturally engaged by faces they see in everyday life, and are often caught staring into adult's faces. It isn't because there's something on your face, or the baby finds you particularly aesthetically pleasing, it's because developing children are still learning how faces can move. This includes their own face. Placing a mirror in front of infants and toddlers can often serve to distract and interest them for minutes on end, and can help them learn to recognize themselves and their movements.
Self-recognition is a years long process and is very important for babies and toddlers. Having a mirror to look into lets children learn how their bodies move and what they look like while moving. This development will let them learn more words as they become curious what their various digits and limbs are called, and enforces their motor function by encouraging them to move and watch how their reflection changes.
The Jonti-Craft Wall Mirror is made to use their natural fascination and encourage it to make their recognition that much faster and easier. With a small size, only 24" by 24", the mirror fits easily near the floor, next to cribs, or across from furniture, and lets young children have access to their reflection anytime they feel like doing a bit of ogling. Made of a sturdy reflective acrylic, the Jonti-Craft mirror is up to ten times more resistant to breaking than a conventional glass mirror without sacrificing the clear image, and the lightweight material means it's less likely to damage walls or fall out of place.
With pre-drilled anchor points across the edge of the mirror, it's a super fast set up, leaving no delay before your little audience can enjoy the view.
