Montessori & Reggio Inspired Children Mirror, Preschool Classroom Essential, 3 Panels, 3-in-1 Folding, Small Mirror for Light Table Explore

Nice addition to light table

This tri-panel mirror is an excellent learning tool to deliver an understanding of how light reflects at different angles and the interesting effects that can be observed. My 8 year-old son and I use this mirrored setup to explore different reflecting phenomena. The repeating of patterns, the travel of a laser pointer, seeing a blind spot from around a corner, and turning on the TV from around the corner. I think this type of product helps deliver a practical understanding of physics while having fun and enjoying the phenomena. The mirrors themselves are mostly straight, with a few minor optical imperfections, but these imperfections are also a useful part of learning and understanding how reflection works. I would recommend this product as a nice ready-to-go setup, that feels safe to use with no sharp edges exposed. The product carton is ideal for storage, alternately you might opt to leave the mirrors out on display. Only one panel of the mirror can be completely folded over at a time, as the thickness of the wood prevents both panels from doing the same. For those who enjoy painting, the wood frame presents itself as a possibility.

I always wanted to buy a mirror for my classroom but didn’t want to overspend. I finally found one I could afford and it’s the perfect size for multiple uses in my preschool class.

I thought this mirror set would be bigger, especially for the price. I like them. Still looking for a bit larger.

My daughter loves this mirror. We have it in her play area on her low shelves with a different toy in front for fun perspectives. The only thing I am not fond of is that it will only fold flat 2 panes wide, and one folds on top of that, so it doesn't fold completely into a 1 pan 3 stack high arrangement.
