How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Dinosaur Figurines encourage children to engage in imaginative play, fostering their natural curiosity about the world. As children create narratives and scenarios with the dinosaurs, they explore concepts of size, habitat, and behaviour, which supports inquiry-based learning.

Building language, imagination, and social skills
Through collaborative play with the Dinosaur Figurines, children can enhance their language skills by discussing their ideas and stories. This interaction promotes social skills as they negotiate roles and share their imaginative scenarios with peers.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
