How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Soft Touch Volleyball Rainbow set encourages active play and exploration, allowing children to engage in physical activities that promote gross motor skills. Through play, children can experiment with coordination, balance, and teamwork, fostering a sense of inquiry as they learn how to interact with the balls in various ways.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children play with the volleyballs, they naturally engage in conversations, negotiate rules, and collaborate with peers. This interaction supports the development of language skills and social competencies, as they express ideas, share experiences, and use their imagination to create games and scenarios.
