What our OT says:
I love incorporating these mirror blocks into play routines, because they offer something both magical and meaningful. Here's why:
Visual Perceptual skills: Adding reflective surfaces into block play encourages kids to notice symmetry, perspective, and visual detail. As they rotate, stack, or peer into mirrored surfaces, they sharpen their visual discrimination and understand spatial relationships in playful ways. The reflections allow children to see angles and patterns they might otherwise miss.
Motor Skills: Handling these blocks strengthens fine motor skills. The smooth wooden edges and mirrored surfaces invite a secure grasp, promoting precision and dexterity. Picking, placing, and balancing blocks supports in-hand manipulation, essential for tasks like writing, cutting, and using tools.
Cause and effect and STEAM thinking: When light reflects off mirrored blocks, children begin to understand cause and effect, how angles and surfaces influence reflection. This naturally introduces STEM elements into play. Mirror blocks are often used in Montessori and STEAM classrooms to explore light, reflection, and architectural concepts.
Identity and self awareness: Seeing their movements and expressions reflected back helps children begin to observe themselves. Mirror play supports emotional awareness and self-recognition, teaching them to understand their expressions and feelings.
