How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Space Discovery Dividers facilitate imaginative play by allowing children to create their own space-themed scenarios. As children engage with the tactile images of planets, rockets, and astronauts, they are encouraged to explore concepts of space and science through inquiry and play, fostering a deeper understanding of their environment.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
This product promotes collaborative play, as children work together to construct their small world scenes. Through this interaction, they can develop descriptive language skills by discussing their imaginative narratives, enhancing both their communication abilities and social connections with peers.
