How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting creativity and self-expression
The Bark Xmas Trees provide children with a natural art resource that encourages creative exploration and self-expression. As children engage in decorating and personalising these trees, they can experiment with colours, textures, and design, fostering their artistic skills and individual creativity.

Promoting connection with the natural world
These bark trees serve as a tangible link to the natural environment, allowing children to explore natural materials in their art projects. By incorporating these elements into their play, children can develop an appreciation for nature and understand the importance of natural resources in creative expression.
