How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting creativity and self-expression
The Picture Frames Kit provides children with the opportunity to express their individuality and creativity through art. By designing and decorating their own picture frames, children can explore various artistic techniques, materials, and colour combinations, fostering their creative skills and personal expression.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children engage in the collaborative process of creating picture frames, they naturally develop their language and communication skills. Sharing ideas, discussing design choices, and working together on projects encourages social interaction and imaginative play, enhancing their ability to articulate thoughts and feelings.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity
Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
