The Sassy Floor Mirror is probably about the same price or less for what you would pay for a regular mirror at a hardware or home and bath store. That’s one reason. Other reasons could be the uniqueness of this toy mirror which is designed to keep your child more engaged and stimulated, not just with seeing his or her own reflection in the mirror, but also with being able to play with and fidget with some of the side accessories. Even more importantly, they get positive self-awareness from watching themselves as they act out! Also, there are the safety considerations that you won’t have with an ordinary mirror.
