How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Giant Outdoor Skittles encourage children to engage in active play, fostering their physical development and coordination. As children roll the balls to knock down the skittles, they naturally explore concepts of force, balance, and spatial awareness, promoting inquiry-based learning through hands-on experiences.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
Playing with the skittles provides opportunities for children to communicate and collaborate with peers. As they take turns and discuss strategies, they enhance their language skills and social interactions, supporting the development of teamwork and problem-solving abilities in a playful context.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
