Indoor Games

What do you see? (Mirror Game)

For this game you will need a mirror on the wall.  Carry your toddler and look into a mirror together.  Say something like.. "Look in the mirror, what do you see?"  Then point out to your toddler all the different things you can see.  I would start with pointing to body parts .. eyes, ears, hair, nose, etc.. and then clothing and other objects that can be seen through the mirror.
