How this product aligns with the EYLF
Supporting creativity and self-expression
The Easi-Grip 3 in 1 Crayons encourage children to explore their creativity through various artistic mediums. With the ability to use the crayons as traditional crayons, oil pastels, or watercolours, children can express their ideas and emotions in diverse ways, fostering their individual artistic styles and preferences.
Building language, imagination, and social skills
Using these crayons in group settings can enhance children’s language and social skills as they engage in collaborative art projects. As they share materials and discuss their creations, children develop vocabulary related to colours, shapes, and artistic techniques, while also learning to communicate their thoughts and feelings effectively.
