Mirror Magic: a spatial reasoning game for kids

Your child sees a pattern of colored squares and rebuilds it on their own grid — first as a copy, later mirrored or rotated.

This trains spatial thinking: imagining how a shape looks when flipped or turned, a skill linked to maths and geometry.

Grids grow from 3×3 to 5×5, more squares are filled, the rule moves from copy to mirror to a 90° turn, and from level 8 the model disappears after a few seconds.

How to play

1. Look at the pattern.
2. Tap your squares to make it.
3. Follow the sign: copy, mirror or turn.
4. Tap ✅ when you are done.

Why it helps

• Practises mirroring and rotating shapes in the mind
• Trains spatial memory
• Builds a base for geometry
• Rules get harder step by step

Based on spatial transformation and pattern reproduction tasks. Grown-ups can see accuracy for each rule.

💡 Build simple block patterns and ask your child to build the mirror version. Use a real mirror to check together.
