* Create a three-sided area in the room using an old cardboard box from an electrical store.
* Attach a range of synthetic animal furs to two sides of the box with Velcro.
* Place the box beside a wall mirror or cover the third wall of the box with reflective mirror-like paper.
* Lay a large piece of synthetic animal fur on the floor.
* Place a range of soft toy animals in the area for the children to explore. Make sure that you include 'squeaky' animals or animals that rattle (Oxfam does a nice range of soft animals with appropriate sounds).
