Hexagonal Softie Mirror Set

Hexagonal Softie Mirror Set gives children five different ways to explore their reflection. Three flat mirrors show a familiar view, while one convex and one concave mirror change the appearance of reflected objects. The colourful foam frames make each mirror easy to distinguish, creating a hands-on starting point for conversations about faces, shapes and what we can see.

Five mirrors are supplied in one set. Each measures 19 cm from point to point and combines an acrylic mirror with an EVA foam surround. The mirrors can be held individually, and adhesive is included for wall mounting where suitable.

Compare Flat and Curved Reflections

Begin with a flat mirror and invite the child to notice a familiar feature: their smile, a raised hand or the position of their hair. Move to a curved mirror and compare what appears different. The outward-curving convex surface and inward-curving concave surface provide contrasting views that change as the mirror or object moves.

Children can explore distance by bringing a mirror a little closer or moving it further away. An adult might ask what has become larger, smaller or a different shape. Looking, changing the position and looking again offers a simple introduction to observation and comparison.

Colourful Frames for Easy Identification

The three flat mirrors have purple, blue and yellow frames. The convex mirror is red and the concave mirror is orange. These colours offer a practical way to refer to a particular mirror during a group activity: try the red one next, put the flat mirrors together or compare orange with blue.

The hexagonal outlines add a separate shape investigation. Trace around the outside with a finger, count the sides together and compare a straight edge with a corner. A child can explore the frame and the reflection at the same time, or concentrate on just one aspect of the resource.

Facial Expressions and Shared Language

Mirrors can support games in which children make and describe expressions. An adult can demonstrate a smile or a surprised face, then invite the child to choose an expression of their own. Questions such as “What are your eyebrows doing?” help connect a spoken description with something immediately visible.

There is no need to label a child's feelings from their expression. Instead, use the mirrors as an invitation to notice and talk: a story character might look puzzled, excited or sleepy, and children can decide how they would show that expression. This gives a practical reason to use descriptive language and listen to another person's ideas.

Activity Ideas for the Hexagonal Softie Mirror Set

• Same object, different view: hold a familiar toy in front of a flat and a curved mirror. Describe how its reflection changes. Additional toys are not included.
• Copy a movement: slowly raise a hand, turn the head or open the mouth and watch the reflection follow.
• Sort by surface: group the flat mirrors together, then compare the two curved surfaces with adult guidance.
• Expression storytelling: choose a moment from a familiar story and make a face for the character. Invite another child to suggest what might happen next.
• Near and far: change the distance between a mirror and an object, taking time to notice the result after each movement.

Why Choose Hexagonal Softie Mirror Set?

The mix of flat, convex and concave mirrors creates more possibilities than a set of identical reflections. Children can move between a recognisable image and a changed view, making comparisons that arise directly from their own actions. Five individual pieces also make it practical to introduce one mirror at a time or organise a small-group activity.

The EVA frames provide a tactile border around each acrylic surface. Their consistent shape and different colours help adults explain which mirror to choose, while the included mounting adhesive offers an alternative to handheld exploration where the setting and surface are suitable.
