How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Bamboo Measuring Kit encourages children to engage in open-ended play, allowing them to explore concepts of measurement and volume through hands-on experiences. As children pour water from one tube to another, they naturally investigate and inquire about the relationships between different sizes, fostering their curiosity and critical thinking skills.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product provides a tangible way for children to experiment with measurement, promoting early mathematical understanding. By using the bamboo tubes and scoops, children can practice estimating, comparing, and problem-solving as they determine how much water each tube can hold, thus laying the groundwork for future STEM learning.

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 water play station where children can use the Bamboo Measuring Kit to explore measurement concepts while engaging in sensory play. Incorporate a variety of containers to extend their understanding of volume and capacity.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to create their own water experiments by predicting which tube will hold more water and testing their hypotheses using the measuring kit. Facilitate a group activity where children work together to fill the tallest tube, promoting teamwork and communication.

Provocation Ideas
Introduce a challenge where children must fill a specific tube to a designated level, encouraging them to think critically about how to achieve this goal. Provide a storytelling session where children can share their experiences and findings from their water play, enhancing their language skills and reflection.
