How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Sensory Light Up Glow Stacking Discs Set encourages children to engage in open-ended play, allowing them to explore concepts of light, colour, and texture through hands-on experiences. As children manipulate the discs, they can investigate cause and effect by observing how shaking the discs activates the lights, fostering curiosity and inquiry-based learning.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product provides opportunities for children to engage in construction play, supporting their understanding of spatial awareness and problem-solving as they stack, roll, and build with the discs. The tactile nature of the discs also invites experimentation, as children can explore different configurations and outcomes, enhancing their early STEM skills in a playful context.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas

Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Incorporate the discs into the loose parts area, allowing children to use them alongside other materials to create structures or designs. Set up a dedicated sensory corner where children can explore the discs in a low-light environment to enhance their visual discovery.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to create patterns or sequences with the discs, discussing colours and shapes as they play. Organise a group activity where children can collaboratively build a tower, promoting teamwork and communication skills.

Provocation Ideas
Introduce a challenge where children must stack the discs to reach a certain height without them toppling over, fostering problem-solving and critical thinking. Use the discs in storytelling sessions, where children can use them as props to represent characters or elements in their narratives.
