Ask your child to draw a few simple pictures of familiar objects. Then cut the pictures in half lengthwise.  Let him place the mirror next to each half-picture. What does he see? Draw half a shape on a piece of paper. Then ask him to guess what shape it is. He can use the mirror to see the whole shape. Encourage him to draw half a shape and to see if you can guess what shape it is without using the mirror!
