How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Folding Light Panel Table provides a versatile surface for children to engage in play-based learning experiences. By using the table alongside light panels, children can explore concepts of light, colour, and shadow, fostering their natural curiosity and inquiry skills as they experiment with different materials and effects.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product encourages children to investigate scientific principles through hands-on exploration. As they manipulate objects on the light panel table, children can develop their problem-solving abilities by observing how different items interact with light, promoting critical thinking and reasoning in a supportive learning environment.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
