Kraul Mirror Ball - Kids STEM Science
The Kraul Mirror Ball is a delicate blown glass sphere with a mirrored surface that reflects the world around it in miniature. It looks a little like a Christmas bauble and has a small shaped tip that children can gently hold between their fingers as they explore the reflections. While it may look decorative at first glance, this is a powerful learning tool that invites hands-on science exploration.
Children can see themselves and their surroundings in new and surprising ways. The curved surface of the ball flips images upside down, stretches shapes, and wraps the whole room into one tiny reflective view. It encourages open-ended experimentation as children move around the ball, arrange objects near it, and discover how reflections shift and change.
The Kraul Mirror Ball comes with a small activity booklet that includes simple science experiments and play ideas. Try it in a dark room with a torch, next to a flat mirror, or in different lighting conditions. Explore what happens to your face when you get close to the ball. Children might see a tiny version of themselves standing in the sky or a funny bent reflection of their head. These playful distortions spark curiosity and support early STEM learning through observation, questioning, and discovery.
This toy supports sensory play by engaging the sense of sight and encouraging calm, focused observation. It also supports the positioning schema, as children naturally arrange objects around the ball and experiment with placement and perspective. These types of play help build visual thinking, spatial awareness, and problem-solving skills.
Ideal for home learning, classroom science, or quiet creative play, the Kraul Mirror Ball is best suited for children aged 8 and over. It is very fragile and should be handled with care. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children.
Made in Germany by Kraul, this mirror ball is part of a range of thoughtful science toys that bring natural forces to life through real-world exploration and play.
Not suitable for children under 3 years
Designed for children aged 8 years + or with adult supervision younger children. Warning! This mirror ball is fragile and will break if dropped onto a hard surface.
