Inside Front Cover: Mirror

The inside front cover includes a baby-safe mirror for self-discovery and tummy time fun.

As your child grows, you can use it to practice emotions and expressions like happy, surprised, sleepy, and silly.

Page 6: Transport and Cause-and-Effect Page

This page introduces different modes of transport and encourages children to move them along the string, exploring cause and effect through movement.

You can ask:
“Can you make the car go vroom?”
“How does the plane move?”
“Which one goes on the road?”
“Which one flies in the sky?”

Extend the play

Why families love Mighty Mouse

Mighty Mouse is packed with playful learning opportunities for babies and toddlers, while still feeling gentle, comforting, and easy to enjoy together.

Across its pages, children can explore:

• sensory development
• fine motor skills

• cause and effect

A little tip

You do not need to use every page the same way every time. Some days your child may want to explore textures, other days they may want to repeat a favourite page again and again. That repetition is valuable and is often where so much learning happens.

Mighty Mouse was designed to make those everyday moments feel playful, calming, and full of connection.
