How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Giant Weaving Number Set encourages children to engage in hands-on play that promotes exploration and inquiry. As children lace and manipulate the numbers, they develop fine motor skills while also experimenting with concepts of number recognition and sequencing in a playful context.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product provides opportunities for children to engage in early mathematical thinking as they identify, sort, and arrange the numbers. Through lacing activities, children can explore patterns and develop problem-solving skills as they figure out how to thread the numbers effectively.

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