How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting creativity and self-expression
Assorted feathers provide children with a versatile medium for creative expression. Through the exploration of colours and textures, children can engage in imaginative play, enhancing their ability to convey ideas and emotions through art and craft activities.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children use the feathers in collaborative projects, they have opportunities to communicate their thoughts and ideas with peers. This interaction fosters language development and enhances social skills as they negotiate roles and share resources during creative play.
