How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Rechargeable Easi-Torch Set encourages children to explore their environment through light and shadow play, fostering curiosity and inquiry. As children engage in activities that involve illuminating different objects or spaces, they develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of their surroundings.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product provides opportunities for children to experiment with light sources, enhancing their understanding of basic scientific concepts such as reflection and visibility. By using the torches in various play scenarios, children can engage in problem-solving as they navigate how to use light to create effects or solve challenges in their play.

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