How this product aligns with the EYLF
Supporting creativity and self-expression
The Easi-Grip Animal Crayons encourage children to explore their creativity through drawing and colour selection. As children use these crayons to create their own artwork, they express their thoughts and feelings, fostering a sense of individuality and self-expression.
Building language, imagination, and social skills
As children engage in drawing activities with their peers, they naturally develop language skills by discussing their artwork and sharing ideas. The animal shapes of the crayons can also inspire imaginative play and storytelling, enhancing social interactions among children as they collaborate on creative projects.
