About Mirror
A dashed mirror line splits the grid in two, and the left half already shows a pattern of colored squares. Your child paints the right half so it mirrors the left, square by square. Painting a square that should stay empty gives a little shake, and tapping it again changes or clears it.
How to play
- Look at the pattern on the left half of the grid.
- Tap or slide over squares on the right to paint the mirror image.
- On a computer, move with the arrow keys and press Enter to paint.
What your child practices
- Understanding symmetry
- Mirror images
- Spatial thinking
- Left and right
