How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting creativity and self-expression
The Crayola Triangular Crayons encourage children to explore their creativity through drawing and colouring. The unique triangular shape promotes the development of a proper grip, enabling children to express their ideas and emotions visually while refining their fine motor skills.

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
These crayons provide an engaging medium for children to experiment with colours and shapes during play. As children use the crayons in various contexts, they can engage in inquiry-based learning, exploring concepts such as colour mixing, patterns, and storytelling through their artwork.
