Flat Mirror - Set of 10 - 21cm x 30cm

The Flat Mirror - Set of 10 by Commotion is a versatile resource ideal for supporting early STEM learning, sensory exploration, and visual discovery in early years settings. Each set includes ten individual flat plastic mirrors, measuring 21 cm x 30 cm, designed for hands-on activities involving symmetry, light reflection, and investigative play. The panels are made from durable, scratch-resistant plastic that ensures safe handling during classroom use.

These flat mirrors provide children with engaging opportunities to explore reflective symmetry, experiment with light and colour, and enhance model-making or design-based projects. They are especially useful for creative building with loose parts, pattern-making, and drawing activities, and can be paired with natural light or torches to observe light behaviour and reflection.

Suitable for children aged 3 years and older, the mirrors support inquiry-based learning by encouraging children to test ideas, develop hypotheses, and engage in collaborative exploration. Open-ended and accessible, they promote critical thinking, imagination, and confidence as children discover new perspectives through reflection and construction.

Educational Benefits:

• Supports exploration of symmetry and light behaviour through reflective play
• Encourages inquiry-based learning and hands-on experimentation
• Enhances fine motor skills and spatial awareness through drawing and model creation
• Promotes creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving in collaborative projects

Classroom Ideas:

• Set up a symmetry station for drawing and pattern replication using the mirrors
• Use with light sources to explore reflection, angles, and colour distortion
• Combine with building blocks or loose parts to examine mirrored constructions
• Incorporate into art activities to explore self-portraits or mirrored patterns
