How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Rattan Dolls Crib encourages children to engage in imaginative play, allowing them to create narratives and scenarios with their dolls and soft toys. This type of role play fosters exploration and inquiry as children experiment with different social roles and relationships, enhancing their understanding of the world around them.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children interact with the dolls and the crib, they naturally develop their language skills through storytelling and dialogue. This product provides a platform for cooperative play, where children can negotiate roles and share ideas, thereby enhancing their social skills and imaginative capabilities.
