How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The My Body Multi-Layer Puzzle encourages children to engage in play-based learning by exploring the different layers of the human body. As they manipulate the puzzle pieces, children can inquire about the functions of organs, bones, and muscles, fostering curiosity and deeper understanding of their own bodies through hands-on interaction.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This puzzle supports the development of early STEM skills by challenging children to think logically and sequence the layers correctly. As they work through the puzzle, children enhance their problem-solving abilities and spatial awareness, which are foundational skills for future learning in science and mathematics.
