How this product aligns with the EYLF

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The Textured Teething Links provide a safe and soothing option for infants experiencing teething discomfort. By allowing babies to explore different textures and shapes, these links support their need for comfort and promote self-soothing behaviours, fostering a sense of independence during a challenging developmental stage.

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
These teething links encourage infants to engage in sensory exploration through play. As children manipulate the rings, they develop fine motor skills and enhance their tactile awareness, which is essential for their overall development and understanding of the world around them.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
