 - Now, you can have a small glass probes you can use a variety of ways by the child. Glass is safe because the edges are not sharp and not easily broken.
 - Give a glass to the child and ask her to describe other people they see through the glass. See others in the glass, keep the glass, and have children describe what he saw.
 - Encourage the child imagination to find different variations of the use of glass. For example: when children see the glass, encourage the child saw herself and whom she imagines if she is in a position of anger, whom she pretended to be angry and saw herself in the mirror.
