How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Giant Premium Vinyl Cushion provides a versatile space for children to engage in play-based learning. By creating comfortable reading corners or rest areas, educators can encourage children to explore their interests, fostering inquiry and imagination in a relaxed environment.

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The soft and durable design of the cushion promotes a sense of comfort and security, allowing children to take ownership of their space. This supports their wellbeing by providing a designated area for quiet reflection or social interaction, contributing to their emotional development and independence.

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas

Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Create a dedicated reading corner with the cushions to encourage children to select books and engage in independent or small group reading sessions. Use the cushions in a quiet area for children to rest and recharge during busy periods of the day.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Set up a storytelling session where children can sit on the cushions and share their favourite stories, enhancing their language and communication skills. Organise small group activities where children can collaborate on creative projects while seated comfortably on the cushions.

Provocation Ideas
Introduce a themed play scenario, such as a ‘camping’ area, where children can use the cushions as seating around a pretend campfire, encouraging imaginative play. Use the cushions as part of a sensory exploration activity, inviting children to describe the textures and colours while seated comfortably.
