How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Seagrass Storage Baskets provide an organised space for children to explore and engage with loose parts and smaller resources. By facilitating easy access to materials, these baskets encourage children to initiate their own play experiences, fostering curiosity and inquiry as they manipulate and experiment with various items.

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
By using the Seagrass Storage Baskets, children can develop a sense of responsibility and ownership over their learning environment. The ability to independently access and return resources promotes confidence and self-sufficiency, contributing to their overall wellbeing and comfort within the learning space.
