Mirror, mirror in the box

Mirror mirror in the box

Hi! This is a good one for boosting children's self esteem, and children think its great when they look in the box and discover what's in there!!

Stick a mirror into the base of a small box with a lid on it. Invite the children to sit in a circle on the carpet. Tell the children you are going to show them a special gift in the box, but ask them to keep it a secret:ziplip: until the end. Then get each child to open the box and look inside one at a time. When everyone's had a turn, ask them what they all saw in the box, and if everyone saw the same thing... Ask them to explain what was different, and then tell them they are all special.
