incorporating mirrors

A well-placed mirror can transform simple play into an opportunity for learning and growth.⁠

When children interact with their reflections, it helps them understand emotions. They can see how internal feelings change their facial expressions, which is vital for emotional intelligence and empathy.⁠

By watching themselves in a mirror, children also better understand their body's position in space, enhancing their spatial awareness and coordination. This is particularly important for gross motor development.⁠

While traditional designers turn to mirrors because they multiply light and make the space feel larger, we use mirrors so that children can explore their expressions and movements in a safe, engaging environment. ⁠

Incorporating mirrors into our playrooms transcends aesthetics; it's a strategic choice supporting early childhood development. ⁠
