A great activity to help toddlers recognize and attach names to
the other children in the nursery. All you need is a full-length
mirror and a little imagination. This activity will work best with
kids age 0 to 2.
Best for: Ages 0 to 2
Tools: A full-length mirror
Blueprints: Securely fasten a full-length mirror
horizontally to a classroom wall, six inches from the floor. Have
babies and toddlers sit in front of the mirror to see a reflection
of themselves and their nursery friends.
Say: I see Charlie -- do you see Charlie? Or point
and say, Here's Alexis! Little ones will enjoy seeing themselves
and learn to recognize and attach names to other children in the
nursery.
