How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Dantoy Tiny Activity Chain Set encourages infants to engage in sensory exploration through touch and visual stimulation. As babies interact with the chains, they can investigate different textures and colours, fostering curiosity and promoting independent play.

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The activity chains are designed to be soothing for babies, particularly during teething, which can enhance their comfort and emotional wellbeing. By allowing infants to grasp and manipulate the chains independently, they can develop fine motor skills and self-regulation.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes

Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
