How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Sensory Light Up Rainbow Glow Stacking Arches encourage children to engage in open-ended play, fostering their curiosity and exploration. As children stack and tessellate the arches, they can experiment with balance and stability, leading to inquiry-based learning experiences that promote problem-solving skills.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
Through interactive play with the arches, children can explore concepts of cause and effect by pressing the button to change colours. This hands-on experience supports their understanding of basic scientific principles while encouraging them to think critically about their actions and the resulting outcomes.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
