How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Construction Tap a Shape Set encourages children to engage in hands-on play, allowing them to explore concepts of shape, size, and spatial awareness. Through this interactive experience, children can investigate their environment, experiment with different configurations, and develop their understanding of construction and design.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product provides opportunities for children to engage in problem-solving as they figure out how to tap shapes into place. By manipulating the pieces, children can enhance their critical thinking skills and develop an early foundation in STEM concepts, such as geometry and engineering.
