Items needed

  • mirror in which the child can see him/herself easily
  • child sized hair brush or comb
  • clips (for girls)
  • small basket or drawer - a special place for the child to have easy access with the brush

The Activity

Sit or stand in front of the mirror and take your own adult sized brush. To brush the right side of your head put left hand over the left side of the head and brush straight down your hair. Repeat on the other side placing left hand over right side of the head. Your arms will cross in front of your head. This is a way for the child to be able to see easily the different sides of the head. Brush your hair deliberately and slowly. After which you can then slowly place the brush back onto the basket. Let them have a turn if they have not asked yet!

Please give more tips on what and how to teach our little ones. I have another baby on the way and I want start very early with her :-) thank you so much!
