How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting creativity and self-expression
Paint pipettes provide children with a unique tool for exploring colour and texture in their artwork. By using pipettes, children can experiment with different techniques, such as dripping or splattering paint, which encourages them to express their ideas and emotions creatively.

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The use of paint pipettes invites children to engage in hands-on exploration and discovery. As they manipulate the pipettes to create their art, they are naturally led to ask questions about colour mixing, patterns, and the effects of their actions, fostering a sense of inquiry and curiosity.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.
