How this product aligns with the EYLF
Supporting creativity and self-expression
The Outdoor Double Easel Clear provides children with a versatile platform for artistic exploration, enabling them to express their thoughts and feelings through various mediums. By allowing children to paint on both sides and adjust the height to suit their needs, the easel fosters an environment where creativity can flourish, encouraging individual expression and collaborative art experiences.
Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children engage in shared art activities at the easel, they naturally develop language skills by discussing their ideas and collaborating on projects. This interactive play promotes imaginative storytelling as children create narratives around their artwork, enhancing their social skills through cooperative play and communication with peers.
