Babies love looking at faces, and this cute activity is a great way to get your little one looking at his or her own.

Lie some place comfortable with your baby, like a soft blanket, and hold a hand mirror up over your faces. You can just gaze at first, or point out facial features.

From there I moved on to making lots of different expressions, naming them as we went. Happy, silly, sad. Oh no, grumpy!

Your baby might even try to mirror what you’re doing!
