Description
The Infant and Toddler Mirror is specifically designed for use from birth. Montessori infant classrooms are often referred to as “The Nido”, or “The Nest”, to acknowledge the warm, cozy environment that protects infants in their early development. These are spaces that tend to be smaller, quieter and softer in tone. You are recommended to hang a full-length mirror sideways on the wall, near to the floor.

I couldnt believe it at first, but when I was told that this mirror was not made from glass, I was hesitant to purchase. But it is really incredible quality, safe and such a crucial feature for the nido phase.
