What Are the Advantages of Acrylic Mirrors?
Acrylic mirrors are 17 times stronger than glass, making them highly resistant to impacts and extremely difficult to shatter. This makes acrylic mirrors far safer than traditional mirrors, and ensures they're perfect for use in sensory rooms.
What Makes Mirrors Great for Sensory Rooms?
Using mirrors alongside other sensory equipment is a great way to create exciting visual effects and to help fashion a stimulating, interactive experience that captures the attention of participants. The handheld mirror squares are particularly good for interactive play, as they can be picked up and used to personally reflect projectors, bubble tubes, fibre optics and other visual sensory room equipment.
Textured Soft Play Mirror Frame
The Soft Play Flexible Animal Mirrors are surrounded by a soft frame that makes them even safer than standard acrylic mirrors. The soft, foamy texture of the soft play frame offers an enjoyable contrast to the smooth mirror surface, which is perfect for children with tactile hyposensitivity.
Promotes Awareness of the Self
The Soft Play Flexible Animal Mirrors provide children with a unique sensory experience that can encourage visual development and develop an awareness of object permanence. This helps the child to become aware of themselves as a separate entity to the rest of the world, which is an important developmental milestone.
Scratches Are Easy to Repair
When a glass mirror gets scratched, it's extremely difficult to restore the surface of the mirror. With acrylic this isn't the case, you can actually use a small amount of acrylic polish to fix the scratch, making acrylic mirrors a great choice for sensory rooms that put the emphasis on interactivity.
What Age Range Are the Soft Play Animal Mirrors Suitable For?
The Soft Play Animal Mirrors are suitable for all age ranges thanks to the highly shatter-resistant acrylic material and soft foam padding. Please be advised that the Soft Play Animal Mirrors should be used under the supervision of a responsible adult.
