How this product aligns with the EYLF
Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Touch and Feel Board Book: World of Peter Rabbit encourages young children to engage in sensory exploration through its varied textures. As children interact with the different surfaces, they are prompted to ask questions and express their observations, fostering a natural curiosity and inquiry-based approach to learning.
Building language, imagination, and social skills
This book provides opportunities for educators to engage children in discussions about the characters and settings depicted in Beatrix Potter’s illustrations. By describing the textures and sharing stories, children can enhance their vocabulary and storytelling skills while also developing social interactions through shared reading experiences.
