How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Natural Pastels Nursery Pack encourages infants to engage in exploratory play through its variety of textures, sounds, and colours. As babies manipulate the different toys, they naturally investigate their environment, fostering curiosity and promoting sensory development in line with play-based learning principles.

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The soft and tactile nature of the toys in this pack provides comfort and security for infants as they explore. Engaging with these toys supports the development of fine and gross motor skills, contributing to their sense of independence as they learn to control their movements and interact with their surroundings.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas

Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Set up a sensory exploration area where infants can freely interact with the Natural Pastels Nursery Pack, promoting sensory awareness and fine motor skills. Incorporate the toys into a calm corner to provide comfort and support emotional regulation during transitions.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage infants to shake and rattle the toys to explore sound, fostering auditory development and cause-and-effect understanding. Use the stacking tower to introduce concepts of balance and spatial awareness during guided play sessions.

Provocation Ideas
Present the toys alongside a mirror to encourage self-recognition and social interaction as infants explore their reflections while playing. Create a themed play session where educators model different ways to use the toys, inviting infants to imitate and engage in shared play experiences.
