How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Girls Dolls Clothes Winter Cardigan & Dress Set encourages children to engage in imaginative play, allowing them to explore roles and scenarios through the care of their dolls. This type of role play supports children’s natural curiosity and inquiry as they experiment with social interactions and develop narratives around their play.
