How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Large Round Natural Baskets provide an opportunity for children to engage in play-based learning by facilitating the organisation of resources within the learning environment. By using these baskets, children can explore concepts of categorisation and sorting, enhancing their inquiry skills as they determine where different items belong.

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
These baskets promote a sense of wellbeing and comfort by creating a tidy and inviting space for children to explore. When children can easily access materials stored in the baskets, they develop independence in their play, fostering confidence and self-reliance as they choose and manage their own learning experiences.
