How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Natural Pastels Baby Gym encourages infants to engage in play-based learning through exploration and interaction with its colourful elements. As babies reach for the rattle, wooden rings, and swing, they develop their motor skills and hand-eye coordination, fostering a natural curiosity about their environment.

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The adjustable height of the baby gym allows for comfortable use as infants grow, promoting independence as they learn to move, sit, and stand. This product provides a safe and supportive space for babies to explore their physical abilities, contributing to their overall sense of wellbeing.
