How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Small Natural Felt Letters provide children with a tactile and visually engaging resource that encourages exploration and discovery through play. As children manipulate the letters, they can engage in activities such as sorting, spelling, and constructing words, fostering their natural curiosity and desire to learn.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
These felt letters serve as a versatile tool for language development, allowing children to practice letter recognition and phonetic sounds in a playful context. Through collaborative activities, children can enhance their communication skills as they share ideas and work together to create words and stories.
