How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Dolls Clothes 40cm Jersey Vest & Headband Set encourages children to engage in role play, fostering their creativity and imagination as they dress their dolls. This hands-on experience allows children to explore different fastenings, enhancing their fine motor skills while they play, which is essential for their overall development.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children interact with their dolls and each other during play, they naturally develop language skills by narrating stories and scenarios. This product provides opportunities for cooperative play, where children can negotiate roles and share ideas, thereby strengthening their social skills and enhancing their ability to communicate effectively.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
