Help your Reception child explore reflection, comparison and problem solving through simple building play.

Mirror Me invites children to copy a design across a centre line using lolly sticks or craft sticks. As your child compares both sides, notices differences and moves pieces until they match, they’ll practise careful observation, test ideas and begin exploring the idea of reflection.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. Begin with one or two sticks, then create more complex designs or deliberately place a piece incorrectly and ask your child to explain what needs changing.
