How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting creativity and self-expression
The Crayola Triangular Coloured Pencils provide children with a versatile tool for artistic expression. By engaging in drawing and colouring activities, children can explore their creativity, experiment with colours, and develop their unique artistic styles, all of which are essential for fostering self-expression.

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
These coloured pencils encourage children to engage in play-based learning by allowing them to create visual representations of their thoughts and ideas. As children use the pencils to draw, they naturally explore concepts such as shapes, patterns, and storytelling, enhancing their inquiry skills through artistic exploration.
