Another item that has taken us a while to find. Children love looking at themselves in the mirror to see what they look like and what sort of expressions they can make. The world also looks strangely different when viewed through a mirror - kind of front-to-back, upside-down-ish. We wanted a small, non-fussy, traditional-style hand-held mirror that would be easy for children to hold. We also wanted one that did not have too many corners to make it easy to polish. We hope you agree that this one is just right. Handle: Plastic, tortoise-shell style. Dimensions (cm): 16 (l) x 9 (d)
