Just a great toy overall!! It has even helped my baby to start rolling… amazing purchase!! Mega recommend!!
Uses:
1. Just looking at his reflection, smiling, laughing and cooing at the baby in the mirror. Also trying to eat the baby in the mirror and checking behind it to see where the rest of that baby is.
2. On the changing table, keeps him entertained and calms him down.
3. In the crib by itself. I wedge it between the mattress and the side of the crib. Even with no other toys, just the mirror keeps him happy.
3. In the crib, with the Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Kick and Play Piano Gym and the Flensted Mobiles Nursery Mobiles, Penguin In Tails. This "golden trio" keeps him happy for longer periods of time so I can have a break. It keeps him occupied for so long that I've even been able to take a few quick showers.
4. On the floor, for tummy time, crawling, and rolling around
5. I've knotted the ribbons in loops and used a chain of the Bright Starts Lots of Links- Solid Colors to hang it off the outside of his crib, so he can see himself while he's in the exersaucer. Again, seems like anything is more entertaining when he can watch himself.
As he grows and develops we keep finding new uses for the mirror. I don't know what we'd do without it.
