About Mirror Paint
Every stroke on the square sheet is copied as a mirror image, so a few quick lines grow into a pattern. Dashed lines show where the mirrors are. Eight colors, three brush sizes, an eraser and undo help your child shape the design.
How to play
- Pick a color and a brush, then draw anywhere on the sheet.
- Watch the mirror copies appear, and tap Done when the pattern is ready.
- With a keyboard, press 1 to 8 for colors or Backspace to undo.
What your child practices
