How this product aligns with the EYLF
Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Make ‘n’ Move Activity Panel encourages children to engage in play-based learning by allowing them to create their own activity centres. This hands-on approach fosters curiosity and inquiry as children explore the various components, such as the colour spinner and light switch, promoting active engagement in their learning process.
Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
The product supports the development of early STEM skills by providing opportunities for children to experiment with different configurations and functions of the activity panel. As they manipulate the components, children practice problem-solving and critical thinking, laying the groundwork for future learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
