Church Nursery Games: Mirror Activities for Infants and Toddlers

You’ll Need:

• mirror
• another object (such as a toy or bottle)

Who’s That in the Mirror?

Place a baby on your lap in front of the mirror and point to his or her reflection.

Ask: Who’s that? Then say: That’s [baby’s name], and Jesus loves [baby’s name] so much!

Hide and Seek

Place a baby with an object in front of the mirror and say: See [baby’s name] and the [object’s name]?

Then pull the object out of sight, then back into view. This will strengthen a baby’s observation skills.

God Made You

As a baby views his or her reflection in a mirror, point out different parts of the body and say that God made them.

Say: God made your toes! and wiggle the baby’s toes. Or God made your hands! then clap the baby’s hands together.
