Our encounter with the mirror was a fundamental moment in the history of mankind,

and that encounter is renewed each time a child recognizes his or her own reflection

in a mirror. Initially, very young children do not seem to recognize themselves but

nevertheless show signs of pleasure and satisfaction. From that moment on begins

a long process that will lead them to recognizing their own face, the first image the

world has of that child. The mirror is thus an essential tool in this journey.

But a mirror is also an incredible kaleidoscope that reflects the surrounding environment,

an observatory in which to keep an eye on the reality it reflects, dominating

images and emotions.

As children navigate through

a whole world to be discovered,

they are easily amazed

and love to be so. The place

that hosts them must provide

large and small surprises that

children can encounter alone

or with their friends.

Wonder, joyfulness, humor.

We learn and build knowledge

through paradoxes of perception

and amusing disorientation,
