How this product aligns with the EYLF
Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The Dino Scooters promote physical activity, which is essential for children’s overall wellbeing. As children navigate their environment on the scooters, they develop their gross motor skills and gain confidence in their abilities, fostering a sense of independence and adventure.
Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The scooters encourage children to engage in active play, allowing them to explore their surroundings while developing balance and coordination. Through this play, children can inquire about movement, speed, and spatial awareness, enhancing their understanding of the physical world around them.
