How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Wonder Play Magnetic Tiles encourage children to engage in open-ended play, allowing them to explore various shapes and colours. Through manipulation of the tiles, children can experiment with balance, symmetry, and structure, fostering a natural curiosity and inquiry-based approach to learning.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product supports the development of early STEM skills as children use the magnetic tiles to create structures and patterns. By problem-solving during their play, children learn to think critically and apply mathematical concepts such as measurement and geometry in a hands-on manner.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas

Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Set up a dedicated area for the magnetic tiles where children can freely explore and create, integrating them into a mathematics learning corner focused on shapes and spatial awareness.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage collaborative building projects where children work together to create large structures, promoting teamwork and communication skills.
Introduce challenges, such as creating specific shapes or patterns, to stimulate problem-solving and critical thinking.

Provocation Ideas
Present a story that involves building or construction and invite children to recreate scenes using the magnetic tiles, linking storytelling with creative expression.
Provide a variety of images of structures made from magnetic tiles and challenge children to replicate them, fostering both creativity and engineering skills.
