Baby

Tummy Time Mirror Play

⏱ Prep time: 1 min 🎨 Mess level: Low mess

An unbreakable mirror propped during tummy time — babies love watching ‘another baby.’

Steps

  1. Lay a blanket on the floor and place your baby on their tummy.
  2. Prop an unbreakable baby mirror upright just in front of them.
  3. Point out “the baby in the mirror” and watch them lift their head to look.
  4. Keep sessions short at first — a few minutes is plenty for younger babies.

Notes

Mirror play gives babies extra motivation to practice the head and neck strength tummy time builds.
