How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Easy Grip Convex/Concave Mirror encourages children to engage in play-based learning by exploring reflections and visual distortions. As they manipulate the mirror, children can investigate how different angles and surfaces affect their view, fostering curiosity and inquiry about light and images.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product supports the development of early STEM skills as children experiment with the convex and concave sides of the mirror. By observing the changes in their reflections, they begin to understand basic scientific concepts related to light and optics, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

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